ATLANTA -- Travis Schlenk knows what it takes to win a championship.
He's also a realist.
Just over a week after he was hired as general manager and head of basketball operations by the Atlanta Hawks, Schlenk was formally introduced by his new team Friday at Philips Arena, facing a host of issues ranging from re-signing free agent Paul Millsap to figuring out a role for Dwight Howard.
Hawks owner Tony Ressler gushed over Schlenk's qualifications , saying he clearly stood out among the 8-to-10 candidates interviewed by the team.
Schlenk spent a dozen years with Golden State, helping build a team that won the title in 2015 and is playing in its third straight NBA Finals.
