The anticipation grows for Clint Capela’s debut with the Atlanta Hawks, who has yet to play for his new team while dealing with Plantar fasciitis. Capela was acquired at the Deadline in part of a four-team deal that saw more than ten players switching teams.
The 6’10 center was among the most high-profile players to swap jerseys this season, and for the Atlanta Hawks, the addition is much-needed. The Hawks have been among the worst teams on defense and on the boards this season, and had long-term options at nearly every other position.
Capela looks to be the center of the future in Atlanta, and while they need him more in the coming years, fans would still like to see what he brings to the table this season in a preview of sorts.
