Hawks Trade Kuminga, Boost for Ejiofor | Atlanta Hawks News

The Hawks are shrinking their roster and height — setting the stage for rookie Zuby Ejiofor to leapfrog expectations and earn major minutes sooner than anticipated. With no traditional big men on the roster and frontcourt depth thinning, Ejiofor’s versatility and summer league success make him a prime candidate to step into key roles — especially if injuries strike. Atlanta’s new small-ball identity means Ejiofor could be thrust into the rotation faster than anyone predicted. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
