What third-year player makes the final roster?
With the draft and free agency in the rearview mirror, the Hawks can now focus their attention on claiming the next available piece of hardware: the 2025 Las Vegas Summer League trophy.
Who will be on that roster you might ask? Well, today we have our answer.
The Atlanta Hawks have announced their roster for the summer competition in a release today:
Atlanta Hawks
Headlining the team will be third-year guard Kobe Bufkin, who has suffered two injury-riddled seasons since being drafted 15th overall in 2023. He can show he’s finally ready for a productive season with a strong summer campaign after only seeing action in 27 regular season games over the past two seasons.
Joining him is Nikola Đurišić (Djurisic), the second-year guard/wing who spent the majority of last season with the College Park Skyhawks after suffering a left foot fracture in last year’s summer league. Asa Newell, this year’s first-round pick, and brother of Jalen Johnson, Kobe Johnson, also make the roster.
The head coach for the summer Hawks will be Bryan Bailey. The four-game schedule was already announced, which you can find linked here. A fifth game will be played upon the conclusion of the four games should the Hawks not make the four-team bracket to determine a champion.
How does one watch the games? Well, per the release:
All of Atlanta’s Summer League contests will be available on the FanDuel Sports Network app. The games will also air on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast, with the exception of July 13, which will air on FanDuel Sports Network Alternate on DirecTV/Fubo.
