The run the Hawks just had in the Eastern Conference finals reminded general manager Travis Schlenk of the experience he had with the 2013 Warriors, when he was an assistant general manager. That was the first glimpse into Golden State potentially turning into a juggernaut.
The similarities are similar between that Golden State team and this Atlanta team. Both were filled with inexperienced, young players surrounded by key veterans who helped propel them into the postseason. The Warriors took down a 57-25 Denver team in the first round of the playoffs before running into the Spurs, the eventual Western Conference champion. Steph Curry played on a bum ankle that series and the Warriors lost Andrew Bogut.
