Sharpshooting Babbitt Appears Perfect For Budenholzer's System

Luke Babbitt, who signed with the Hawks last week as a free agent, is ready to jump into head coach Mike Budenholzer's pace-and-space system.

"When I got the call, the first thing I thought of was Coach Bud. I've always respected what he did from afar," Babbitt said. "I'm really excited to play for him and be with this young group of guys."

The 6-foot-9 forward spent last season with the Miami Heat and started in a career-high 55 games. He averaged 4.8 points per game and finished tied for ninth in the NBA in three-point percentage at 41.
