The Atlanta Hawks will not be leaning into the depths of their youthful rotation anytime soon after they assigned five players to their College Park Skyhawks roster today: Asa Newell, N’Faly Dante, Nikola Djurisic, Caleb Houstan, and Jacob Toppin. The Skyhawks kick off their season in Friday’s G League Tip-Off Tournament.
None of these players have scratched the rotation as of yet. Even Dante, who was expected to receive extended playing time as the third-string center, could only muster a measly 6 minutes a game during Kristaps Porzingis’s two-game absence due to illness.
Newell is the only player of this bunch who has truly impacted a game this season.
