How did Atlanta do?

Steph's outcome?
Answer: A steal in the draft. Steph went 44 in the draft to Minnesota and played some valuable minutes as a backup in Minny. His averages were 8 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and a steal before retiring in 2018 due to elbow injuries which plagued him from being a good shooter (he was not, he shot 32% from 3)
