Depth has been outstanding...THJR, Mike Muscala & Thabo have been great off the bench. We're getting contributions from young guys like Malcolm Delaney & rookie Taurean Prince.

Upgraded at PG & C. Schroeder and DuWop have been better than Jeff Teague and Al Horford were for us. Teague was a talented guard who didn't always play hard consistently. You don't have to worry about Dennis's effort...he can be reckless at times but he's getting better in his first yr starting. Wop has been better for us than Al was. Gives us a physical presence, rebounding and elite team defense. You got none of that from Al. This team overall just looks more aggressive and is tougher and Dwight is a big part of why
I disagree about Al Horford but this team fits better. It don't show on the stats outside of rebounding but we got a toughness we didn't have last year.

elaborate on this sir :jbhmm: besides korver's inconsistency i feel like our starters are pretty dope
We are performing at league average with our starters. Our bench is the best is three NBA by a wide margin. Alot of this has to do with our starters not getting the usual starter minutes but some of the ratings don't speak highly of them.

The Hawks bench:banderas: Y'all got a name for them? With the work they're putting in they might mess around and win player of the month. Seriously, if it weren't for the Hawks, the league would be boring AF right now. Happy for Dwight. Looks like he finally found the right fit for him. And the brotha out here doing good things for the community. :salute:

i think our rotations is the reason why you would underestimate our starters, but the fact that they're so fluid speaks a lot about our depth in general

ATL…overly

You didn't get toughness, rebounding or elite team defense from Al. Al played really good defense and did some good things, but we've got an advantage in the post now...we haven't had that in years
