I’ll let you make that argument.

Atlanta Hawks: Is signing Milos Teodosic realistic?
The Hawks were one of five NBA teams that sent scouts to the EuroLeague Final Four in Istanbul last weekend. Could they have been scouting Milos Teodosic? Maybe, but it’s unlikely that Atlanta will have the cap room to sign him. Teodosic is an extremely fun player and would be a great backup for Dennis Schroder. Teodosic will likely come to the NBA and thrive as a dynamic role player.

What is the Next Step for Dennis Schroder?
At Peachtree Hoops, Thomas Jenkins wonders what’s next for Dennis Schroder. Schroder had an up and down season during his first year as a starting point guard. His outside shooting, turnover issues, and defense are just a few things he could look to improve upon. If he plays like he did in the postseason consistently he could eventually be an All-Star.
