The Atlanta Hawks made a franchise-changing move in 2019-20 when they traded for Clint Capela. The Swiss star sat on the bench for the remainder of that season due to injury. He then took the court at the start of the 2020-21 season in the second game and did not look back.
Capela was the league leader in rebounds last season and was fourth in blocks per game. His defensive ability was one of the key attributes that helped change the Hawks for the better during the regular season.
