ATLANTA — The 2018-19 season was the most productive of DeAndre’ Bembry’s young career.
After battling injuries for his first two years in the league, Bembry played all 82 games this past season. With his fair share of highlight-worthy dunks and arguably the team leader in energy on both sides of the floor, he averaged a career-high in minutes, rebounds, assists, steals and points in the 2018-19 campaign.
“It’s great,” 2016 draft classmate and Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince said of Bembry’s feat. “That guy’s been through a lot, minus basketball. To see him get through his triumphs, life situations — he has a beautiful mother, great friends around him, so to see him get through a full season and actually be happy walking around here with no brace on his arm, I know he went through a couple of injuries our rookie year and last season too, so it’s great.
