The Atlanta Hawks could land a viable option at either backcourt position to close out the 2017 NBA Draft.

Perpetual injury problems robbed Edmond Sumner throughout his college career, as knee tendinitis limited him to just six games during his freshman year, while a torn ACL ended his sophomore season after just 17 games.

During his limited time on the court, Sumner managed to impress throughout the year, with perhaps his most impressive outing coming during a victory over Georgetown.

Sumner continually attacked the basket, earning 17 trips to the free throw line, as part of a 28-point, eight-rebound, six-assist effort.

The 6’6″ guard managed to post several other impressive stat lines throughout the year.

The Hawks could use a backup point guard, with Jose Calderon slated to become an unrestricted free agent next month and Malcom Delaney, an unproven NBA player, being the only other backup available to Dennis Schroder.
