Atlanta Hawks 2018-2019 player preview: Miles Plumlee

In advance of the 2018-2019 NBA season, the Peachtree Hoops crew will preview each player on the current roster. The third installment breaks down veteran center Miles Plumlee.

What many fans fail to realize is that NBA players are all world-class athletes, regardless of playing time.

Last season, Plumlee appeared in 55 games, averaging 4.1 rebounds and 4.3 points while shooting 58.3 percent from the field in 16.7 minutes of play a night. Many fans have called Plumlee out for the four-year, $52 million contract the Milwaukee Bucks gave him in 2016, the year of the bad big man contract, but he’s still a serviceable player (albeit a backup) in the NBA.
