Antic averaged 5.7 points, 0.8 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.2 blocks, and 0.3 steals in 17 minutes per game through 63 games in 2014-15.
At 32 years old, the two-year NBA veteran will be a restricted free agent this offseason. Antic missed 19 games this season due to injuries (neck, ankle, illness) and minor complications following an arrest in April. Due to his size and ability to shoot from the perimeter (0.8 three-pointers), Antic provides a role off the bench for a Hawks team that values team play and mismatches. Atlanta has of an abundance of younger post players who do similar things in Al Horford, Paul Milsap, Mike Scott, and Mike Muscala, meaning that Antic will most likely continue to fill a bench role if he is re-signed this offseason.
