The Atlanta Hawks underwent a major makeover this summer overall as a team with the hiring of a new head coach and by drafting top-end prospect Trae Young. Atlanta also moved out long-term starting point guard Dennis Schroder and brought in the veteran presence of Jeremy Lin to help mentor Young.
The organization did not suddenly become world beaters with these moves, but at the very least, Atlanta continued to set the foundation for the future. However, there is reason to believe that the improvements at the point guard position could be felt right away with the addition of two good offensive talents.
