Grading Every Hawks Player Through 30 Games
By Chris Guest
Luke Babbitt
Grade: B-
Luke Babbitt has a fairly limited role in the Hawks’ system, and he has also missed some time with a few nagging injuries. Still though, he is averaging 18.8 minutes per game, 7.3 points per game and 3.5 three-point attempts per game while shooting an impressive 45.6% (41 of 90) from downtown.
Babbitt’s 63.8% three-point attempt rate is second on the team, which makes sense as that is his sole purpose in Coach Bud’s system.
With a 118 offensive rating per 100 possessions, Babbitt ranks 4th on the team and is one of only 6 players with a positive net rating per that stat. Luke does one thing, and he does it well — who could ask for more?
