2024-25 Atlanta Hawks player preview: Kobe Bufkin

Coming into his second season in the league, Kobe Bufkin has shown what kind of player he’ll be for the Hawks when he’s on the floor.

Bufkin had a rollercoaster start to his NBA career, but there was always growth that came with it. He started slow in the Summer League, but by the end, there was obvious improvement from him reading the floor to finding consistency with his jump shot.

From there, Bufkin didn’t see much time with the Hawks. There were several guards in front of him such as Patty Mills, Trent Forrest, and Wes Matthews, and he played mostly in the G League, where he went on a scoring tear for some games.
