Rebuilding a team and trying to create a contender takes time.
But being patient through that process isn’t Hawks principal owner Tony Ressler’s forte, he said before the Hawks’ home opener vs. the Magic Saturday night.
“I haven’t met a fan that is less patient than me,” Ressler said.
For Ressler, who became the principal owner in the summer of 2015, every step the team takes, from improving facilities to drafting and developing talent to eventually likely spending to supplement that talent, is focused on turning the Hawks into a contender.
“We want progress, we expect progress, we demand progress,” Ressler said.
