If the Atlanta Hawks wanted to begin the 2019-20 NBA season with their current roster, they could easily do so. The team currently employs 13 players, with the number set to jump to 14 whenever second-round pick Bruno Fernando signs his first professional contract, and Atlanta’s roster checks enough boxes to immediately function.
There is some uncertainty behind Trae Young at point guard, even with the addition of Evan Turner and the presence of Jaylen Adams on a non-guaranteed contract, and the Hawks are also a bit short-handed in the frontcourt in a world in which Dewayne Dedmon is on the unrestricted free agent market.
