Taurean Prince did not have a statistically impressive offensive season as a rookie for the Atlanta Hawks last year. With that said, the former Baylor forward wasn’t bad and that’s OK for a rookie even as one of the older players in his draft class. He did progress from persistently playing as the fifth offensive option on every half-court possession for the better part of the season to demonstrating more confidence and assertiveness late in the regular season and into the playoffs.
A lot of observers seem to want to see him play more at the power forward position (and he did play there quite a bit during summer league) but his primary value to his team is the size, length and mobility he can use to defend the opposing team’s strongest wing scorer.
