Hawks Add Defensive Spark with Carter | NBA News

The Atlanta Hawks just added Devin Carter, a former lottery pick with elite defensive upside, to bolster their crowded backcourt. Despite injury setbacks and underwhelming offensive production, Carter’s hustle, turnover-forcing defense, and rebounding ability make him a perfect fit for a team building for the future. His arrival raises questions about Buddy Hield’s future and positions Carter as a key developmental piece, with potential to become a two-way star if his shooting improves. This move signals the Hawks’ focus on intensity and long-term growth, even if it’s a calculated gamble on a player still finding his footing.
