Miles Plumlee is probably the player on the Atlanta Hawks roster that fans are least enthusiastic about seeing play this season. That probably has more to do with his contract than his actual basketball skill set and there seems to be an assumption that he will play behind Dewayne Dedmon and Mike Muscala at the center position for all of the 2017-18 season. That may or may not be true.
If the Hawks want to rehabilitate his value, he is going to have to play. If the plan is to potentially move Dedmon at the trade deadline, it could open an opportunity for Plumlee to play regularly down the stretch as to position him for a potential trade next summer.
