Atlanta Hawks’ Scouting Report

The Atlanta Hawks enter tonight’s game with a record of 31 wins and 22 losses. They are currently 5th in the Eastern Conference and just a half-game behind both the Wizards and Raptors for 3rd.

Last time out, the Atlanta Hawks hosted the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. The Hawks were victorious 117-106 in a run and gun affair. Below is a highlight video from that game to give you a glimpse at the Hawks’ recent form.

Schroder?

Dennis Schroder is probably the best point guard you know little to nothing about. Thrust into a starting role this season after trading away Jeff Teague and the 23-year-old Schroder has flourished. Schroder is averaging 17.4 points, 6.3 assists, 1.2 three-pointers made, 2.9 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and 3.1 turnovers per game while shooting 46.1% from the field and 83.4% from the free throw line. He is only averaging 30.7 minutes per game as well.

Schroder is a blur in the open court and has the potential to continue to grow into an All-Star point guard. It will be interesting to watch him in tonight’s game and to continue to monitor his development over the next few seasons.
