The former first-round draft pick is making quite a case for a prominent role in 2024-25.
The Atlanta Hawks selected Kobe Bufkin with the No. 15 overall selection at the 2023 NBA Draft. It was a clear declaration of the franchise's belief that Bufkin has the tools to develop into a high-level player who can secure a steady and reliable role in the rotation.
Two years after being drafted just outside of the lottery range, the 21-year-old is rewarding the Hawks' belief by dominating Summer League.
