Taurean Prince 2015-16 Stats:

15.9 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 2.3 APG in 30.6 MPG

Deandre’ Bembry 2015-16 Stats:

17.4 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 4.5 APG in 37.2 MPG

Malcolm Delaney 2015-16 Stats:

16.3 PPG, 5.5 APG, 3.4 RPG in 33.3 MPG

All three of the Hawks’ rookies were highly accomplished with their prior teams, and are expected to impact the team from Day One. Bembry and Prince are expected to be the Hawks’ wings of the future, bringing their offensive versatility and outstanding basketball IQ to a team whose offense consists of heady plays. The first-round picks will be given playing time from the jump, and they are expected to succeed.

Delaney is one of the unknowns of the team, but that won’t be the case for long. He is a dazzling playmaker, who can create for himself and his teammates successfully. He will likley fill the spot left by Shelvin Mack; a third-string guard that would get ample playing time in most of the league’s rotations.
