In a strategic move to enhance their front office, the Atlanta Hawks have made significant additions to their leadership team. Former New Orleans Pelicans general manager Bryson Graham has been appointed as the senior vice president of basketball operations, bringing with him a wealth of experience and expertise in talent evaluation. Joining him is Peter Dinwiddie, a former executive vice president from the Philadelphia 76ers, who will take on the role of senior vice president of strategy and analytics. This dynamic duo's arrival comes as the Hawks aim to strengthen their operations following a season where they narrowly missed out on the playoffs.
Both Graham and Dinwiddie bring a strong pedigree to the table, with Graham's extensive tenure with the Pelicans and Dinwiddie's strategic prowess cultivated during his time with the 76ers and the Indiana Pacers. Hawks general manager Onsi Saleh expressed his excitement about the new appointments, highlighting the team's commitment to building a robust front office. With the NBA draft looming, where the Hawks possess two first-round picks, the additions of Graham and Dinwiddie signal a proactive approach by Atlanta as they strive to elevate their on-court performance and organizational structure in the seasons to come.
