Biggest Hole: Playmakers

I’m not a hater. Even though I expect the Atlanta Hawks to take a bit of a step back this season after the loss of Jeff Teague and Al Horford, I won’t bash them for that. What they deserve criticism for, though, is their lack of natural playmakers on the roster.

Despite Teague not exactly being the best playmaker in the NBA, he at least had the ability to make things happen on a consistent basis. Will Dennis Schroder? We don’t know yet. At the very least, it has to be concerning.

The Hawks could have all the talent in the world, but if they don’t have a playmaker to make things happen it will be all for nothing.
