2. Atlanta Hawks

I could honestly see Caleb playing for the Hawks. He reminds me of a young Al Horford and the Hawks may need to find a replacement for Paul Millsap. Speaking of Millsap, Swanigan’s game and size compare favorably to the 6-foot-8, 246-pound big man as well.

If Millsap were to leave, Caleb would be a great replacement. For Swanigan’s camp, it would be a good fit for him as he may see immediate playing time.
