The Atlanta Hawks officially introduced Travis Schlenk as the team’s new general manager and head of basketball operations at a press conference Friday morning at Philips Arena.
Schlenk alongside principle owner Tony Ressler took questions from the assembled media. Ressler went first and introduced Schlenk as a key acquisition as the franchise looks to climb to a new level.
“Travis is a critically important part of what we are trying to accomplish here in Atlanta,” Ressler said.
Ressler went on to outline the qualities they were looking for in a new general manager and indicated that Schlenk checked off every box.
