Right?

The Athletic“I made some stupid mistakes,” [Schlenk] said. “I’ll admit to that. Some of the decisions haven’t worked out. Write that. That’s what I told them. When you look at our roster, and if I could go back and change one thing, it’s that we don’t have anybody with a voice.”

The philosophy to build through the draft and grow slow should not have precluded the front office from providing adequate veteran leadership. The Hawks have failed in that area. The Kent Bazemore-for-Evan Turner trade hasn’t worked out. The loss of Dewayne Dedmon hurt. Other veterans haven’t performed to expectations.
Just the fact that he's identified his mistake and publicly copped to it...gives me enormous faith in his judgment.
