Atlanta Hawks: Dennis Schroder

Last season, Dennis Schroder began to take over the reins as the Atlanta Hawks point guard.

During the NBA playoffs, Schroder was given much more playing (crunch) time, it seemed, than starting point guard Jeff Teague.

With Jeff Teague being shipped out this offseason to the Indiana Pacers, Schroder will have complete freedom in the team’s offense and over the starting point guard position.

Watch out for the crafty, tenacious young guard as he looks to prove to the Atlanta Hawks he is worth a big contract. Schroder becomes a restricted free agent after this season. So, even beside proving that he can be a starting point guard in the NBA, he will have an opportunity to make huge coin this season.
