His numbers with Dallas this season suggest that he would be, especially on the offensive end. It’s hard to know for sure. Kent Bazemore has turned things around lately and his defense has never wavered.

The Atlanta Hawks currently have one open roster spot. Marc Stein of ESPN.com has reported that the team is interested in bringing in veteran point guard Jose Calderon.
