At the start of last season, ex Atlanta Hawks head coach Lloyd Pierce was unsure of who he should start alongside Trae Young. He tried Bogdan Bogdanovic who struggled with his shot. He also tried Cam Reddish who had a shooting slump at the start of the season as well.
Then the injuries started to mount up at the wing position. Tony Snell had started the season out with an injury, Bogdanovic fractured his kneecap, De’Andre Hunter went down with his knee issue, and then Reddish went down with his Achilles soreness.
