ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks today announced guard Kevin Huerter as the recipient of the 2021-22 Sekou Smith Award, which annually honors the player on the team’s roster who best represents themselves and the franchise with professionalism and integrity in their interactions with the media.
Huerter was selected via vote from a select local media panel. He will be recognized tonight during a pregame presentation, which will include members of Smith’s family.
“Kevin is a very deserving recipient of this honor from the Atlanta media. Since the day he was drafted, Kevin has been accommodating, honest and available to media, respecting the work that the media does in telling the story of our team to the fans,” said Hawks Senior Vice President of Public Relations Garin Narain.
