No. 8 overall pick Kingston Flemings has been one of the better passers in Las Vegas, averaging 6.5 assists in his pair of games (tied for fourth-most overall). He’s struggled shooting the ball (33.3 percent overall) and needs to cut down on turnovers (3.5) if he wants to lock down a spot in the Atlanta Hawks’ rotation.
Atlanta should be mostly pleased with what it’s seen from its big men as well.
Zuby Ejiofor, the 23rd overall pick, has showcased his outside shooting (3-of-7, 42.9 percent), rebounding (5.0) and defense (3.0 blocks and steals) in two games while Henri Veesaar, taken 52nd overall, looks like a steal already. The 7-footer is averaging 13.3 points per game while splashing 50.0 percent of his threes.
For now, it looks like the Hawks may have added three potential rotation players in a single draft.
