Kobe Bufkin wasn’t the only rookie Hawks fans were excited to see in the NBA Summer League. Atlanta also had second-round pick Mouhamed Gueye.
The center-sized forward from Washington State had a lot of memorable moments in Las Vegas, including some that received “top play” consideration. Those plays sent some into a frenzy, eagerly declaring that Gueye is now ready for NBA rotation minutes.
Gueye undoubtedly flashed his potential, but like Bufkin, there’s a lot for him to work on before he’s NBA-caliber, and he probably won’t get there this year and maybe not next year, either.
