In his third season as a member of the Atlanta Hawks, DeAndre’ Bembry easily had his best season in 2018-19. It helped that Bembry stayed healthy all year, playing in all 82 games for the first time in his career.
Because of his improved health, Bembry’s athleticism really popped on a night-to-night basis for Atlanta, leading to a variety of dunking highlights and defensive stops from the 25-year-old – cementing his place as the Hawks’ best perimeter defender on a defense-starved unit last year.
Now, after the ouster of Kent Bazemore, Bembry is the longest-tenured member of the Atlanta Hawks with three years of experience, with the second-longest being third-year player John Collins (a shocking revelation).
