ATLANTA — Dewayne Dedmon has been the life of the party in the Atlanta Hawks locker for the past two seasons.
He’s the seven-footer whose shooting hand converts into a mobile phone in a matter of moments after dialing up one from long distance. He’s the one who recites Lil Baby and Gunna’s “Drip Too Hard” like “Drip too hard, some some some some, some some some” despite the fact the Billboard hit played at least twice every home game this season. He’s the one that was on the lookout for spies when admitting to Hawks.com’s KL Chouinard that one of Atlanta’s biggest offensive tendencies this past season was a play that he couldn’t surrender the name of.
