Mercifully, Utah Summer League is in the books. Things didn’t go particularly well for the Atlanta Hawks in Salt Lake City, as the team lost all three games in rather lopsided fashion and 2018 lottery pick Trae Young scuffled from a shooting perspective. Fortunately, Saturday brings a fresh start and it comes in the form of a game against the New York Knicks.
This particular contest doubles as Atlanta’s first game in Las Vegas Summer League, where the team is guaranteed five games over the next week-plus. Three games are already scheduled (with at least two more coming in tournament form) and the first match-up involves two recent lottery picks from New York.
