After two years mostly wandering the NBA wilderness with Philadelphia and Indiana, Alex Poythress parlayed a strong Summer League outing with the Pacers in 2018 into a Two-Way contract with the Atlanta Hawks, filling out the final spot of their roster in advance of the 2018-19 season. Alongside undrafted point guard Jaylen Adams, Poythress would get a chance to play consistently in both the NBA and G League, where he had been very good two years prior in a consistent role with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. If everything went well, his stint in the G League would be short, as the Hawks could call him up to the main roster and sign him to a full contract.
