Entering the season, most Atlanta Hawks experts would have ranked the squad’s best trade assets as 1) Jeremy Lin 2) Kent Bazemore and 3) Dewayne Dedmon, or those three in some other order.
The above are still likely to be shipped out, but one player has shot up the boards in the last couple months: Taurean Prince.
The sophomore forward, who some might have considered an untouchable in October, has gained a good amount of trade buzz. It’s not often a 24-year-old scoring at Prince’s rate enters the market, and it’s understandable that teams have had interest in that.
