The Young Hawks Made Some Noise in Vegas

by KL Chouinard @KLChouinard

The Hawks went to Las Vegas for Summer League, and despite their 2-3 record for the trip, they came away with an optimal outcome.

The Hawks' roster included three players selected in the past two NBA Drafts: Jalen Johnson (the 20th pick in 2021), Sharife Cooper (48th in 2021) and Skylar Mays (50th in 2020). After a postseason run to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Hawks kept together the core of their roster. Travis Schlenk made some necessary moves to beef up the bench in acquiring center Gorgui Dieng and guard Delon Wright.
