The NBA Offseason: Atlanta

2012 Picks: (23) John Jenkins
2011 Picks: (48) Keith Benson

Current Depth Chart:

PG - Devin Harris, Jeff Teague, Jordan Farmar
SG - DeShawn Stevenson, John Jenkins
SF - Anthony Morrow
PF - Josh Smith, Jordan Williams
C - Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia, Johan Petro

The Hawks could've taken anyone in the draft, but here they've focused on outside shooting. The irony with the Hawks is that they still don't have much room to do anything in free agency, so they'll be shopping Josh Smith's expiring contract, and if anyone's foolish enough to take on the 4 years and $89 million left on Joe Johnson's deal........


UPDATE: Wow, new GM Danny Ferry is a genius.  They got rid of Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams, and now it's Josh Smith, Al Horford, Devin Harris, Jeff Teague, Zaza Pachulia, and all the pieces from the Brooklyn trade.  They may or may not make the playoffs this year, but next year they're ready to make a huge splash in free agency.
