Atlanta Hawks Player Grades for December

Everyone Else:

DeAndre’ Bembry: C

Bembry continues to be a good defender off the bench, and is competent enough. He plays mostly mistake free ball, but can sometimes disappear, especially on the offensive side of the court.

Alex Len: B-

Len is the Hawks’ de facto starting center, averaging the most minutes at that position despite not actually starting games.

He had a good offensive month, averaging 11.7 points per game on 64% shooting, making half of his shots from three.

Len averaged 7 rebounds per game off the bench, above his season average of just 5.4.

Vince Carter: C-

The 42-year-old is still out there averaging 16 minutes per game.

He has not shot the ball well this year at all, and that continued in December, when he recorded 36% from the field.

It’s still always fun to see the legendary Carter check into any game.

Allen Crabbe: B-

Crabbe became one of Lloyd Pierce’s most used bench assets this month, averaging just under 20 minutes per game off the bench.

He’s played well for the most part, averaging 5.9 points per game, shooting 37% from the field. He recorded 20 points in 21 minutes against the Bucks on the 27th.

Damian Jones: D+

Damian Jones has worked himself into the rotation then back out in his three months as a Hawk.

The former Warrior came into the month as the starting five, but lost that along the way. In the last handful of games he’s averaged just 1.5 points in 10.8 minutes per game.

He still is probably the Hawks’ best rim protecting center however.

Evan Turner: D+

Just like Jones above, Turner is basically out of the rotation at this point.

He averaged 12.7 minutes per game, failing to appear in eight of the team’s 13 games.

The vet averaged 2 points and 2.2 assists per game.
