It is a (very) busy week for the Atlanta Hawks. On Monday, Lloyd Pierce was introduced as the franchise’s next head coach and, on Tuesday evening, Travis Schlenk and company will be holding their breath as the 2018 NBA Draft Lottery takes place in Chicago. However, an interesting subplot has reportedly emerged and it centers on point guard Dennis Schröder.
The 24-year-old took part in a press conference for the German Basketball Federation on Monday and his (translated) comments made some waves. First, Schroder was quoted as saying that he has to “look individually at what’s the best for (him)” and he expressed plans for a sit-down (with Schlenk and owner Tony Ressler) back in Atlanta that would include his agent.
