Tyler Dorsey is clearly one of the most important building blocks for the Hawks going forward. Though lower on the totem pole than say John Collins, breakout star Taurean Prince and whoever the team gets in the first round of the 2018 draft, Dorsey should still play an important role in the team going forward – especially with a year of development under his belt.

Shooting always travels well, and Dorsey has the potential to be the best knockdown shooter on the team – a role not seen since Kyle Korver was traded to the Cavs in 2016-17.

Having a deadeye deep threat is one of the most important elements of the modern NBA, and Dorsey still projects to be that for the Hawks down the line.

With an offseason of workouts and development, as well as a likely trip to the Summer League, Dorsey should come back to the team with more skills than he had coming out of the draft.
