Biggest Weakness: Rebounding
Their biggest weakness last season was hitting the boards and with the departure of DeMarre Carroll, things just got worse in the ATL.
Al Horford is back, as well as Paul Millsap, but neither player has ever been a glass eater. They play small ball and it may get them thru a weak Eastern Conference during the regular season, but the playoffs is where the game slows down and gets a little physical.
We saw last season that they are not built to be pushed around, but not signing a big rebounder and defensive specialist might have cost them another second round visit.
