REPORT: Hawks zero in on former NBA Draft pick

Tall Blacks international Mojave King is reportedly on the move once again, with the Illawarra Hawks zeroing in on the talented wing.

According to ESPN’s Olgun Uluc, the NBL25 champions are in conversations with the 47th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers.

In his fourth season in the NBL, King averaged career-highs in points (11.3), rebounds (4.4), assists (1.5), field goal percentage (45.6) and free-throw percentage (38.7) with the Taipans.

Uluc also reports that the Foundation Club are “going hard for a marquee 4-man” to pair with Sam Froling, with the names of Luke Travers and Mitch Creek being mentioned.

Heading into next season, Justin Tatum’s side has Tyler Harvey, Sam Froling, Will Hickey, Daniel Grida, Todd Blanchfield, Mason Peatling, Wani Swaka Lo Buluk, Kobe McDowell-White and Johny Narkle under contract.
