The Atlanta Hawks continue to bolster their roster. They are adding defensive versatility with the recent addition of Nickeil Alexander-Walker. The deal is reportedly for four years and $62 million. Alexander-Walker will also receive a player option and a trade kicker on his new contract. Given his ability to defend on the perimeter, he and Dyson Daniels will be a nightmare for opposing offenses.
Furthermore, Nickeil Alexander-Walker developed into a reliable two-way player during his tenure with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Considering this, the Hawks now have a very versatile roster on paper. Not to mention, his defensive abilities will allow star point guard Trae Young to flourish on offense and alleviate some pressure off the four-time All-Star. As a result, this was a solid pickup for Atlanta.
