Mike Muscala

After the Hawks selected him with a second-round pick last year, Muscala was sent to Europe, where he spent most of the season. With the Hawks frontcourt injury crisis spiraling out of control, and Muscala excelling in Spain, he came back to Atlanta to play near the tail end of last season.

Muscala contributed solidly in his 20 games as a Hawk, but will need to show more composure in his game going forward. Muscala is fond of taking long range jump shots, and if he could show improved accuracy on them in Summer League, that would be an encouraging sign.
