Bench Mob, Part One
For the Hawks to be truly successful next season, the role players will have to play to the best of their abilities. Vets like Thabo Sefolosha and Tiago Splitter are expected to hold it down when the starters are out, and they have the ability to. If the full bench plays to their full potential, the Hawks will be hard out once the playoffs begin.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Hardaway rarely played last season, but impressed when given the chance. If he starts for the Hawks, which is surely feasible, expect a huge jump in overall.

Tiago Splitter
Splitter, coming off hip surgery, will likley be the Hawks’ third big. Capable of coming in and impacting the game whenever his name is called.

Thabo Sefolosha
Sefolosha is still one of the best perimeter defenders in the entire league, even going into his twelfth season. A crafty offensive game makes him even more valuable to Coach Bud’s rotation.
