Atlanta Hawks: Tyler Dorsey Looking to Pick Up Where He Left Off After All-Star Break

Though the Atlanta Hawks were not fully in tank mode in 2016-17, whenever Dwight Howard is brought onto a team, a rebuild can’t be far behind. (Props to Orlando Magic Dwight though, he was a beast and should’ve won MVP in the Derrick Rose year).

In the first draft of the Travis Schlenk era, Schlenk took John Collins at #19 overall, which turned out to be a transcendent steal as JC is one of the best players on the team and also likely a franchise building block for years to come.

However, in the second round, Schlenk selected an NCAA Tournament standout from Oregon in sharpshooting two guard Tyler Dorsey.
