Because of the coronavirus, this Hawks offseason will look drastically different than it has in past years.
Really, the changes will stretch further than that, as the Hawks won’t get to play another official game until December (the season would normally start in October). They are one of eight teams excluded from the season restart in Orlando, and the 2020-21 season may be condensed.
In this time of social distancing, with in-person activities limited, the Hawks’ routine for scouting and draft preparation has shifted accordingly, as well.
“It’s certainly different,” Hawks general manager and director of basketball operations Travis Schlenk said.
