Fromal’s Record Projection: 24-58 The Bet: Under with marginal confidence Try to name the Atlanta Hawks’ five players after Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard’s offseason departures. It is not the easiest of tasks. And that would be fine in the event the franchise that has made the playoffs each of the last 10 seasons were overflowing with talent, as opposed to the present situation that’s quite conducive to the dreaded”t” word.
Dennis Schroder is certainly part of the mix, in addition to recently acquired large man Dewayne Dedmon. But who else? Kent Bazemore, Taurean Prince and Ersan Ilyasova? Will Marco Belinelli or Luke Babbitt maintain the mix if they could keep shooting as they did with the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat, respectively?
