The Hawks Need Tim Hardaway to Make a Second Season Jump

Can Tim Hardaway (efficiently) shoot the Hawks up the Eastern Conference standings?

A few years ago, foie gras exploded onto the food scene. Fatty duck or goose liver on your sandwich or burger? Shut the front door! People went nuts for a time, then the craze cooled off. Tim Hardaway Jr. was foie gras to me when the Hawks traded their 2015 first round pick for the shooting guard. A stellar rookie year resulting in the NBA All Rookie Team? I’ll have some of that! Then, he followed up the promising freshman year with the classic sophomore slump, playing about the same minutes per game with declined shooting percentages and double turnovers.
