The Hawks are looking to build on last season’s success. As such, they need to use of summer league in order to find the next player who is going to help take the team forward, be it in a cameo role or by providing good bench minutes for the franchise.
It is unfortunate for the Hawks and Onyeka Okongwu that the sophomore has recently had shoulder surgery and will not be able to participate in the summer league. He could have used the time to work on his game, improving his offensive capabilities to benefit the team next season.
If they do not sign elsewhere, last season’s two-way players Skylar Mays and Nathan Knight will also be looking to work their way into a full contract. This will work well for the Hawks as the competition for places will push every member of the summer league team to perform at their best.
