The Atlanta Hawks roster has taken on some major adjustments. Who will be the five players to watch closely throughout training camp?

The Atlanta Hawks roster have a good mix of young players, players who are entering their prime, and a few that are on the the line of entering the declining period of their careers.

The departure of Jeff Teague and Al Horford marks a new era beginning and with that, comes questions of who will be able to step up and continue the success this franchise has had over the past nine-straight seasons.

To make their tenth-straight postseason appearance next year, the Hawks will likely have to finish with a record better than .500 judging off how much other Eastern Conference teams improved this offseason.

The rookies of each team always garner much of the attention throughout training camp. How are they transitioning to the physicality of the NBA game? Are they picking up the offensive sets quickly? Did they show up in shape?

Those questions could go for all of the newcomers this fall as well.

Let’s look at five players to keep your eyes on during training camp.
