On the heels of the Atlanta Hawks announcing the roster for Utah and Las Vegas Summer League, there is plenty to monitor in the coming days. Play begins on July 2 in Salt Lake City and, from there, the Hawks will participate in at least eight games (across Utah and Las Vegas) that will provide the front office with valuable evaluation time for certain players.
Some prospects have little at stake, such as last season’s second team NBA all-rookie team member John Collins. He will benefit from the development opportunity and a chance to explore the offensive and defensive schemes being implemented by the Hawks new coaching staff under the leadership of head coach Lloyd Pierce.
