Jahlil Okafor was released by the Brooklyn Nets recently which is a massive fall from grace for the former third pick in the 2015 NBA draft. Okafor was named to the All-Rookie team in 2015-16 but struggled from then on, playing with four franchises in his six-year career, so should the Atlanta Hawks be interested?

Earlier this month he was traded by the Detroit Pistons with Sekou Doumbouya to the Brooklyn Nets for DeAndre Jordan and four future second-round picks. Less than a week after the trade, Shams Charania of The Athletic announced that the Nets had waived Okafor.
