The Atlanta Hawks roster has underwent a few major changes this summer. How will the starting lineup take shape in 2016-17?

The Atlanta Hawks had one of the most interesting off-seasons of all the teams in the NBA. While their roster as a whole didn’t have too much shake-up, the changes that did happen were to main pieces from recent, successful seasons.

It all started with the three-team trade that included sending point guard Jeff Teague to Indiana in exchange for the Utah Jazz’s No. 12 pick in this year’s draft, which ultimately turned into Taurean Prince out of Baylor University for the Hawks.

The next big move was signing center Dwight Howard in free agency, which then led to Al Horford decided not to re-sign with the Hawks and instead, sign with the Boston Celtics. Both Horford and Teague were cornerstone players for the Hawks the past seven years together and helped the franchise to seven-straight playoff appearances during that time.

This Hawks team will definitely take on a new look on the floor this season, but the same results are expected. With Teague and Horford out of the picture, let’s take a look at the projected starting lineup for the 2016-17 season.
