Player Notes

Johnson averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 15.0 minutes for the Hawks this season.
Recommendation: In his second season with the team, Johnson put up nearly identical numbers to those he posted in 2011-12. He, along with Anthony Tolliver, served as a versatile defender off the bench. Unlike Tolliver, however, Johnson thrived more in the interior and was often able to draw contact from opposing defenders. The 29-year-old is a restricted free agent this offseason, and his fate with the team likely will not be decided until later in the summer, as the Hawks appear to be in play for a number of big free agents.

Horford averaged career highs in points (17.4), rebounds (10.2) and minutes (37.2) in 2012-13.
Recommendation: After missing the vast majority of last season with a torn pectoral muscle, Horford returned to form and emerged as one of the NBA's best big men. The former Florida star often played out of position alongside Josh Smith but still managed to shoot an efficient 54.3 percent from the field. However, he struggled to get to the line (2.8 attempts per game) as well as make free throws at an efficient rate (64.4 percent). Atlanta's roster will likely look very different next season, and given the possible departure of Josh Smith, Horford, who has three years remaining on his $60 million deal, could be the face of the franchise in 2013-14.

Tolliver provided solid interior defense and rebounding off the bench for the Hawks this season.
Recommendation: In his fifth NBA season, Tolliver averaged 4.1 points and 2.5 assists in 15.5 minutes per game. He appeared in 62 games, starting 11, when Al Horford or Zaza Pachulia were out of the lineup. The 28-year-old is a very versatile defender, as his combination of size and strength enables him to guard multiple positions. He is still very much a work in progress offensively, however, and has a tendency to float to the perimeter, as evidenced by the fact that he attempted nearly three times as many 3-pointers than free throws in 2012-13. Tolliver is an unrestricted free agent this summer and will almost certainly be a target for several teams. He's played for five franchises in five seasons and, depending on Atlanta's potentially tight cap situation should they acquire Dwight Howard and/or Chris Paul, Tolliver could be suiting up for his sixth tea! m next season.

Petro averaged 3.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in just 31 games this season - his first with the Hawks.
Recommendation: The 27-year-old primarily served as a post defender, as his offensive game remains largely unpolished. He's an active rebounder when given the opportunity but rarely logged enough minutes to make a significant fantasy impact. His three-year, $10 million deal expires this offseason and it is very unlikely that he'll be in a Hawks uniform next season. However, a team in need of a veteran, end-of-the-bench big man will likely give Petro a shot for a much cheaper contract.

West, who becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1, is a top offseason priority of the Pacers, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Recommendation: West expressed his desire to return to Indiana earlier in June, so both sides are motivated to make a reunion happen.

Jerebko is encouraged by the recent signing of new head coach Maurice Cheeks, MLive.com reports.
Recommendation: It was an open secret that Jerebko and former Pistons coach Lawrence Frank did not see eye to eye, which helps explain his reduced role in two seasons under Frank's direction. In 2012-13, Jerebko posted career lows in points (7.7), rebounds (3.8), field-goal percentage (44.9), and minutes (18.1). Moreover, he only appeared in 49 of 82 contests, after missing two games combined in his first two campaigns in Detroit, so a change of scheme could invigorate the mindset and production of the hybrid forward.

Lewis is unsure whether he will accept his player option for the 2013-14 season, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
Recommendation: Depending on the who returns to the Heat next season, Lewis could play an integral role in his second season with the team. There is an impending decision on whether to amnesty Mike Miller and the two years (and $12.8 million) remaining on his deal, as Miami maneuvers to avoid paying the more severe penalties for surpassing the luxury tax threshold. Meanwhile, Lewis has appeared in 11 of 21 playoff tilts, averaging just 1.5 points (on 40 percent shooting), while missing all four three-point attempts, in 4.2 minutes.

Jenkins averaged 6.1 points on 44.6 percent shooting in his first NBA season.
Recommendation: Jenkins, the 23rd overall selection in the 2012 draft, was brought in primarily for his shooting prowess. In college, he led the SEC in scoring twice and shot nearly 44 percent from beyond the arc in his career. He appeared in 61 games for the Hawks and saw his playing time increase following a season-ending ACL injury to the newly-acquired Lou Williams in January. However, with established marksman Kyle Korver already on the roster, Jenkins was never able to emerge as the primary shooter. He played well in a short, mid-season D-League stint (51 points in two games) and will likely be a member of the team's summer league squad this offseason. As per his rookie deal, Jenkins is under contract for next season and the Hawks hold club options for 2014-15 and 2015-16. The team's roster could look very different next season but expect Jenkins to once again contribu! te as a shooter off the bench.

Scott averaged 4.6 points on 47.6 percent shooting in 40 games for the Hawks in his first NBA season.
Recommendation: The rookie second-rounder out of Virginia played a very minor role this season, often appearing near the end of blowout contests. However, at the end of the regular season when the team was resting starters, Scott put up some impressive lines - including two consecutive double-doubles, punctuated by a 23-point, 14-rebound performance in the season finale. At 6-foot-8 with marginal athleticism, he's a bit undersized for the power forward position and his contract for next season is non-guaranteed, meaning his spot on the roster could be in jeopardy. He'll need to perform well at the Las Vegas Summer League to impress new coach Mike Bundenholzer, but he'll likely receive some looks from other teams should the Hawks opt to go in a different direction.

Mayo averaged 15.3 points, 4.4 assists and 4.5 rebounds in his first season with the Mavericks.
Recommendation: After spending the past two seasons with the Grizzlies as the team's sixth man, Mayo signed with the Mavericks this offseason and started all 82 games. He got off to a very hot start, averaging 20.9 points per game in the month of November and making two or more 3-pointers in 12 of his first 13 games. However, his numbers curtailed as the season progressed and the return of Dirk Nowitzki reduced his shot attempts. Mayo recently announced he would exercise his player option and become a free agent this offseason. While both he and the Mavericks are believed to be interested in a long-term deal, the team's financial situation is murky at this point. Mayo will undoubtedly draw interest from a number of teams - potentially Minnesota, Phoenix or Milwaukee - looking for a shooting guard.
