In 81 games for Atlanta last season, Terry averaged 16.8 points, 5.4 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.53 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.

Terry was the 10th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft by the Hawks. He finished his collegiate career as Arizona’s all-time leader in steals and the only player in school history to collect more than 1,000 career points and 200 career steals. He capped off his senior season by being named First Team All-American by The Associated Press, National Player of the Year by Sports Illustrated and Pac-10 Player of the Year.

Henderson (6-9, 240) completed his ninth season with the Hawks, but only appeared in six games due to back problems.

For his career, Henderson has averaged 9.4 points and 5.5 rebounds in 485 career games during the regular season and 6.5 points and 3.3 boards in 25 playoff games.
The former Indiana University standout earned the NBA’s Most Improved Player award in 1997-98 after averaging 14.3 points and 6.4 rebounds, up from 6.6 point and 3.9 boards the previous year. Henderson is the only Indiana University player to rank in the school’s top five in scoring, rebounding, blocked shots and steals.
