Impact Following a successful Summer League stint with the Celtics, Atlanta signed Bassey during the offseason, presumably to provide the team with more frontcourt depth. He reminded everyone just what he can do during the win, dominating the glass, while also recording seven combined steals and blocks. While this was a strong performance, it should be noted that the Hawks rested the entire starting five, as well as number of rotation pieces.

That said, Bassey is not a guarantee to open the new season with a stable role off the bench. Last year for the Spurs, the 2021 second-rounder averaged 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 10.4 minutes per game across 36 regular-season appearances.
