Atlanta Hawks: Buy or sell each pending 2020-21 free agent
Treveon Graham – Sell
Treveon Graham was somewhat of a throw-in for the deal that brought Teague back to Atlanta during the season. That largely showed through the rest of Atlanta’s campaign, as Graham was never able to carve out a significant role in the rotation.
In his 22 games with the Hawks, Graham played just 12.2 minutes per game, averaging 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. He played in at least 20 minutes of a game just three times during his stint with the team.
Graham is a high-energy defender, which is the best path at carving out a more permanent role in the NBA. He plays hard on that end and is willing to go toe-to-toe against solid playmakers.
But his struggles on the offensive end make him hard to play, especially for an Atlanta team that often trails and needs to shoot their way back into a game. Graham managed to make 35.1 percent of his threes with the Hawks, but that’s an outlier after he made just 24.1 percent of his threes with the Timberwolves earlier in the year. The shooting guard has hit exactly one-third of his three-pointers in his career.
It’s possible Atlanta brings him back on an extremely cheap, short-term deal. It’s more like Graham ends up on his fifth team in five seasons.
