The Atlanta Hawks’ summer business is almost complete before June is out, but they still have one big pivot point for their offseason: Dewayne Dedmon. Dedmon will be a free agent after two consecutive career years with the Hawks and has the opportunity to cash in on his performance this summer, though there are varying opinions about how lucrative a new contract will be for him.
This seems insane to those of who have watched him grow as a basketball player over the last two years, but it’s a consistent theme that players who break out on lottery teams don’t always get the shine they deserve on the national stage and can sometimes slip through the cracks in free agency.
