Tony Snell is not for from playing his first game for the Atlanta Hawks and his insertion into the lineup will help this team.

The Atlanta Hawks traded Dewayne Dedmon to the Detroit Pistons and in return received Khyri Thomas and Tony Snell. The Hawks would then waive Thomas and then keep Snell who is a really solid 3-and-D wing player.

Snell, who was taken with the 20th pick in the 2013 draft spent his first three seasons with the Chicago Bulls. He was then traded to the Milwaukee Bucks where he would help space the floor for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
