What It Means:

"I will say Kent Bazemore is absolutely a Hawks priority," general manager Wes Wilcox proclaimed after the draft. "We love Kent. He is a huge part of what we do. I don’t think there should be any confusion as to how important Kent is to us." The Hawks selected two small forwards in the first round of Thursday's draft in Taurean Prince and DeAndre Bembry, but Wilcox explained that he was merely picking the best player available.

Bazemore averaged 11.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 3-pointers on 44.1 percent shooting from the field. His -0.5 nERD ranked 85th in the league.
