The Atlanta Hawks come into the 2017 Summer looking to make changes and recast the organization and culture. These five players could help do that.

4. Gordon Hayward. With the Hawks front being all but traded away in years past this would certainly give the lineup a much needed boost. The Butler alum whose career has done nothing but improve every season averages 15.7 PPG while shooting 44% from the field would give the Hawks a lethal shooter who could not be left open. Averaging 32 MPG, Hayward would provide the Hawks with another option to go to in the late minutes of the game, and isn’t that exactly what we needed against the Wizards?
