In advance of the 2019-2020 season, the Peachtree Hoops staff will take a glance at each member of the roster in “player preview” fashion. This edition takes on newly acquired center Damian Jones.
In early July and in the midst of NBA Summer League, the Atlanta Hawks made news in sending 2018 first round pick Omari Spellman to the Golden State Warriors in a surprising trade.
