Mike Muscala wants to be the versatile one.
While the Hawks have traditional centers Dwight Howard and Tiago Splitter on the roster, Muscala has spent the summer working on his perimeter game. About to enter his fourth NBA season, the 6-foot-11 center has focused on improving his shooting, passing and ball-handling to be a complement to the team’s big-man rotation.
“I feel like I do have good perimeter skills for a big guy, but just getting more comfortable doing it in a game and really hammering it home and being ready to shoot the ball,” Muscala told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently.
