The Hawks have extended Kevin Huerter, a versatile player capable of plugging in basically anywhere they need him.
He’s a great passer + 3-point shooter, blossomed as a defender last year and showed he can deliver in big games:

My initial reaction to Kevin Huerter’s extension is it’s great value for the Hawks. I think he’s one of the better young wings in the NBA. He showed last season that he’s continuing to grow defensively, can be trusted with the ball and has the potential to shoot 40% from 3. – 5:38 PM

I spoke with Kevin Huerter last week about his growth in the league and where he wants to take his game next. He’s now secured with a four-year, $65 million contract extension with the Hawks.

Asked Nate McMillan what Jalen Johnson/Sharife Cooper have shown him:
“They got talent…. They do have potential.”
Says both have a lot of guys in front of them though, in terms of the rotation. Adds they’ve both added great energy in practices/preseason games. – 1:29 PM

Last season, Trae Young played just under 34 MPG. With the added depth, could that decrease a little bit?
Nate McMillan: “We’re in this thing to win. Whatever minutes Trae needs to be on the floor is the minutes he’ll play. … Shit, if he needs to play 40, he’ll play 40.” – 1:04 PM

Gallo (left shoulder soreness) didn’t practice today — as of now, he’s the only question mark for the Hawks as far as availability for opening night, per Nate McMillan (in addition to Okongwu who is out until most likely January). – 1:00 PM

Nate McMillan said that he is hopeful that he’ll have everyone but Onyeka Okongwu available for the opener.
The one question mark is Danilo Gallinari, who did not practice today. – 12:59 PM

Hawks went really hard in practice today and will take tomorrow off, per Nate McMillan.
Danilo Gallinari (left shoulder soreness) didn’t participate; got tangled up with someone in practice a few days ago and Hawks are being cautious. – 1:28 PM
