Is it time for the Atlanta Hawks to make a difficult change to the starting 5?

There are just 14 games remaining in the NBA regular season for the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are sitting firmly right at .500 at 34-34. They currently sit in the play-in picture as the 8-seed in the Eastern Conference.

No one can deny that the Hawks have taken a step forward since head coach Quin Snyder was hired a couple of weeks ago. Even though the team’s record hasn’t drastically improved yet, the team is playing a lot harder and the offense looks better and fresher as well.

Even with the improvements in play, I believe that there are further changes that the Hawks can make.

The Atlanta Hawks should look at making starting lineup changes

I believe that in order for the Hawks to maximize their potential this season (and in order to make a run in the playoffs), the team needs to look at potentially making a change to the starting lineup. In my opinion, the team needs to at least look at making a change at either power forward or center.
