In a significant restructuring move, the Atlanta Hawks have appointed Bryson Graham as senior vice president of basketball operations and Peter Dinwiddie as senior vice president of strategy and analytics. These appointments come after the Hawks' disappointing 40-42 finish this past season, which left them out of the playoffs following an early exit in the play-in tournament. Graham, who was previously the general manager of the New Orleans Pelicans, has a strong reputation as a talent evaluator, while Dinwiddie, with prior experience at the Philadelphia 76ers, brings valuable strategic insights.

General manager Onsi Saleh expressed confidence in these new hires, stating that they will help create a "robust and dynamic front office." With two first-round picks in the upcoming NBA draft, the Hawks are looking to rejuvenate their roster and boost their competitive edge. Saleh, who took the helm in April after Landry Fields' departure, is keen to leverage the expertise of Graham and Dinwiddie to improve the team’s performance.
