While the Hawks are quite busy fine-tuning their own roster, several old friends are and could be on the move.

John Collins and Kevin Huerter are currently being shopped, with Huerter being the more likely candidate to be traded. This situation does not include Dejounte Murray and AJ Griffin, who are set to start anew with the New Orleans Pelicans and Houston Rockets, respectively.

Meanwhile, a familiar face, Delon Wright, has found himself in an ideal situation. The former Hawks backup point guard signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he will play with the second unit behind Damian Lillard.

Though the signing may not generate many headlines, it has the potential to be highly beneficial for the Bucks, especially in the postseason. During his time in Atlanta, Wright played as the second team point guard behind Trae Young, averaging 4.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. Notably, he shot nearly 38% from beyond the arc.

Delon Wright is set to provide the Milwaukee Bucks with significantly improved guard play behind Damian Lillard compared to last season. Wright’s ability to facilitate and shoot, combined with his 6-foot-5 frame, allows him to be versatile enough to guard wings when paired with Lillard.

At 31 years old, Wright will assume a role similar to what Jrue Holiday played for the Bucks. Although Wright isn’t at Holiday’s All-Star level, he can contribute with timely scoring, facilitating, and solid defense, making him a valuable jack-of-all-trades player for Milwaukee.

In the past season, Wright averaged 4.5 points, 2.5 assists, and a steal in 15.8 minutes per game. He posted shooting splits of .394/.368/.822 and recorded 54 steals while committing just 14 turnovers. His efficiency and defensive acumen highlight his understanding of his role and his commitment to doing whatever it takes to help his team win.

During his one season with the Atlanta Hawks, Wright brought a strong presence that was appreciated by fans, and Bucks supporters are likely to feel the same way about his contributions in Milwaukee.
