Summary
Asa Newell, the 23rd pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, is emerging as a breakout candidate for the 2027 season, poised to lock down a rotation spot with the Atlanta Hawks. Despite limited minutes as a rookie, Newell impressed with elite efficiency—66% from two-point range and nearly 39% from three—showing he’s ready to be a solid backup to Jalen Johnson. The Hawks’ offseason overhaul, adding Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins and building a strong core around CJ McCollum and Johnson, sets the stage for a playoff push. With key departures like Jonathan Kuminga and Zaccharie Risacher, Newell’s minutes are expected to soar. After a long playoff drought since 2021, the Hawks could finally make noise in 2027—thanks in part to Newell’s potential.
