Atlanta Hawks 2018-2019 player preview: DeAndre’ Bembry

In advance of the 2018-2019 NBA season, the Peachtree Hoops crew will preview each player on the current roster. The seventh edition centers on third-year wing DeAndre’ Bembry.

DeAndre’ Bembry’s NBA career hasn’t gone according to plan so far.

Selected with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft, there was a lot of intrigue surrounding the former St. Joe’s alum — his ability to slash to the rim as well as his ability to make plays for others being two primary draws to Bembry coming out of college.

In his rookie season, Bembry and his fellow 2016 rookie Taurean Prince split time in the rotation but it was ultimately Prince who saw more court time than Bembry in their rookie season — Prince playing 59 games compared to Bembry’s 38 games.
