Our 2021-22 Atlanta Hawks Player Review series continues with a look at the season of guard Skylar Mays.
While Skylar Mays is no star professional basketball player and almost certainly will never be, more importantly he’s a person about which no one seemingly has ever said a bad word. The Academic All-American of the Year for men’s NCAA Division I basketball in 2019-20, he brings smarts and savvy to the practice facility and even during sporadic court minutes, coaches and front office personnel rave about his locker room presence with the Atlanta Hawks.
Mays began the year on a two-way contract, the same contract he was under all of last season after being selected with the 50th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
