Clint Capela is entering his 10th season in the league, which is tied for the highest on this young Atlanta Hawks. For years Capela has been the defensive anchor for the Hawks, but last season it was evident there was a drop off in his game.
Capela averaged 11.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game last season, which isn’t bad, but when you take a deeper dive into his numbers there were some concerns. One of them was his ability to finish at the rim, where he shot 48% last season. There are times when Capela grabs an offensive rebound and goes back up and misses, or he would fail to connect on an alley-oop from Trae Young.
