The Atlanta Hawks finally pared down their roster in a way that few expected. Instead of dropping either Mike Muscala or Edy Tavares, the team dropped Jarrett Jack (followed by all the point guard training camp signees). With the final, 15-man roster solidified, Malcolm Delaney and Dennis Schröder are the only two point guards on the team.
The rationale behind these moves is easy to understand: Tiago Splitter’s injury makes every big man on this roster much more important. At the same time, though, the point guard situation in Atlanta is now razor thin.
