Heading into the 2025 season, the Atlanta Hawks have two red flags that could hamstring their postseason potential: their unproven depth at both the point guard and center positions.
At point guard, the Hawks have two obvious backup options: Kobe Bufkin and Vit Krejci. Bufkin is a third-year player who hasn't performed at a high level in his short career, despite promising play in both college and summer league.
Krejci is a fourth-year player and a non-traditional point guard. Standing 6'8, Krejci is a point guard in a wing's body. Unlike many tall "point guards," Krejci is truly a pass-first player, earning the national Spotlight for his wizard-like transition passes before.
