As free agency continues, the Atlanta Hawks still need to address their depth at the backcourt positions. Here are some possible players to target.

We are now in day five of the free agency period and the dust from all of the prominent free agents selecting their next destination is beginning to settle. Now, teams will start focusing on the players that can make their teams deeper at each position and work on supplying the roster with bench production.

They have already been quite active the past week acquiring center Dwight Howard, re-signing small forward Kent Bazemore, and signing former Euroleague star Malcolm Delaney to give them another option behind Dennis Schroder at point guard.

In the backcourt specifically, the Hawks are still looking slim depth-wise. With just two players at both the point guard and shooting guard positions, it would be ideal to add one or two more players to give them more assurance heading into the 2016-17 season.

There were a slew of deals agreed upon within the first few days of free agency, but there are still quality backcourt players that can produce in limited roles.

Let’s take a look at who the Hawks should be targeting.
