The Atlanta Hawks experienced a big face-lift this off-season. After the dust has settled, who has the most to prove?

The summer of 2016 has been very eventful for the Atlanta Hawks.

Franchise mainstays have walked away. A hometown kid has returned. Atlanta’s first lottery pick in 9 years will look to contribute. A young, dynamic point guard will look to become a franchise pillar.

With so much change for the Hawks, the team will certainly be under the microscope this upcoming season. Some think that they still have the firepower to be a top-5 seed in the East. While others think that the changes will lead to the team missing the playoffs for the first time since 2007.

There are many questions surrounding the Hawks this season, but there is one thing that is for certain. Several Hawks players have a chip on their shoulder heading into this season. But, which man has the most to prove of the bunch?
