Of all the players on the Atlanta Hawks roster, perhaps none are less desirable to meet in a boxing ring than Alex Poythress (sorry Alex Len). The former Kentucky Wildcat is an uber-athletic freak. Filling out his 6’7″ frame with 238 pounds, Poythress is the guy you’re not jumping at the chance to take a charge from.
But while he has all the physical tools to become a consistent contributor on an NBA team, at this point in his career, he has yet to put it all together.
Undrafted out of Kentucky, he signed with the 76ers for the 2016-2017 season and spent most of the year in the G-League.
