Atlanta Hawks head coach Lloyd Pierce used large rotations frequently last year, running 10+ guys nearly every game last year. Like it or not, you can understand why he did so, easing in the young faces with just enough minutes to shine while avoiding over-working them
This year won’t change that, but for a different reason: the roster is chock-full of playable NBA players.
After the re-signing of Vince Carter the Atlanta Hawks employ 14 players likely to be vying for minutes.
They range from veteran off season acquisitions (Chandler Parsons, Allen Crabbe, Jabari Parker, Damian Jones, Evan Turner) to the trio of rookies (De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish, Bruno Fernando) to the returning faces in Trae Young, John Collins, Kevin Huerter, Carter, Alex Len and DeAndre’ Bembry.
