During the 2018 NBA draft, Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk focused on adding three-point shooting, versatility and playmaking to the roster.
Spellman will be able to contribute to the Hawks on both sides of the floor if given the chance. The 6-foot-9 forward’s game is similar to Draymond Green. In comparison to Green, the Hawks new forward has the ability to score on all three levels of the floor and can also play defense.
The addition of Spellman allows Atlanta to place him at power forward or center in order to run a small ball lineup.
