While Clint Capela is yet to play a game for the Atlanta Hawks, it’s exciting to imagine the impact he will have defensively when he finally plays for them.

Since the Houston Rockets decided they were better off in a “small ball system”, they traded away their starting big man Clint Capela. And now that Capela is on the Atlanta Hawks, he is looking to bring his playoff experience to a young Hawks team who is on the rise.

Due to being one of the leagues best rim protectors, Capela can be a driving force on the defensive end for this team, looking to set the tone on that end of the floor.
