Atlanta Hawks forward Kevin Huerter didn’t have the end to the postseason he would have liked, no one on the team did. But the third-year man out of the University of Maryland answered a lot of questions and even surprised old coaches in the postseason for the upstart Hawks.
Huerter was averaging 12.3 points per game before the final month of the regular season when he slumped to the tune of 8.3 points per game on 35 percent shooting (32 percent from deep).
