The Atlanta Hawks will soon take the keys to the car and hand them over to Dennis Schröder.
In July, the Hawks sent out longtime starting point guard Jeff Teague in a three-team trade that landed promising rookie Taurean Prince. Schröder, who has started 16 of his 206 NBA career games, is now poised to become a full-time starter for the first time since he entered the NBA.
In fact, despite being just 22 years old, Schröder holds the third-longest tenure on the Hawks. The only two Hawks who have been around longer are Mike Scott and Kyle Korver, both of whom arrived a season before.
