Hawks' Walter Tavares: Efficient in summer league

Tavares averaged 9.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in six Las Vegas Summer League games.

Analysis:

The 7-foot-3 center connected on nearly 64 percent of his field goals, while grabbing at least seven rebounds in five of the Hawks' six games. While his massive size is intriguing, it remains somewhat unclear as to how far away Tavares is from truly contributing at the NBA level. Last season, Tavares appeared in only 11 games, spending most of the year in the D-League, where he put up 9.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.3 blocks in 21.6 minutes per game.
