## Resource

Henri Veesaar, the Atlanta Hawks’ 52nd pick, is making waves in the NBA Summer League after turning down a $5M+ deal to prove himself — and he’s showing flashes of the potential that made him a late first-round prospect. With a rookie contract worth just $3M guaranteed, Veesaar’s early performances — including 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists — hint at promise, but four turnovers remind us he’s still finding his footing. The Hawks are watching closely as he tries to turn this gamble into a breakout, needing consistent defense, ball control, and shooting to secure his roster spot and earn more of his contract. From UNC breakout to draft slide, Veesaar’s story is one of resilience — and he’s ready to prove his doubters wrong.
