Atlanta Hawks rookie forward Jalen Johnson was named to the All-Summer League First Team. It’s a nice honor for the 20th-overall pick who used his time in Las Vegas to show why the 19 teams that passed on him made a mistake. But he wasn’t alone in showcasing what he can bring to the Hawks.
48th-overall pick Sharife Cooper also made great strides in allaying concerns over his size being a hindrance. 2020 second-rounder Skylar Mays prove he can impact the game in a multitude of ways.
