Atlanta Hawks Evaluations: Clint Capela
The veteran center remains valuable to the team.
Clint Capela's first season with the Atlanta Hawks was nothing short of spectacular. The veteran center led the NBA in rebounding and formed a formidable 1-2 punch with point guard Trae Young. Following Capela's first year in Atlanta, the front office rewarded him with a two-year contract extension.
Unfortunately, the historically-short offseason did not agree with Capela mentally or physically. The 27-year-old admitted to the team lacking excitement and a nagging heel injury which slowed him down this season. With that being said, let's review his 2021-22 season.
