SALT LAKE CITY —
The Hawks open play in the Utah Jazz Summer League tonight at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Their summer roster features two of their three first-round picks in the draft last month, four players who were Hawks rookies in 2017-18 and 10 players looking to win roster spots.
Here are five things to watch for the Hawks at summer league:
1. The Trae Young era begins
The Hawks acquired point guard Trae Young by trading the No. 3 overall pick in the draft last week. They hope that he will develop into an NBA star, and summer league is the first step in that process.
