Hawks' Zuby Ejiofor: Strong double-double in SL
Rotowire
Ejiofor posted 19 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and a block in 25 minutes during Monday's 82-77 Utah Summer League win over the Thunder.
Ejiofor dominated Monday, posting game-high figures in rebounds and leading the Hawks in scoring. The 23rd overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft struggled on the offensive end in his Summer League debut while going just 2-for-7 from the floor, but he was able to bounce back in his second outing. Ejiofor has recorded at least 11 rebounds in each of his two Summer League appearances, underscoring his ability on the glass.

Ejiofor racked up eight points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime loss to the Jazz.
Ejiofor flashed his elite defensive instincts, recording two steals in his first six minutes while also doing an excellent job on the glass. The 6-foot-8 big man created numerous second-chance opportunities for Atlanta, grabbing seven of his 11 rebounds on the offensive end, and he finished with a plus-10 differential in the narrow loss.

Hawks' Zuby Ejiofor: Selected No. 23 by Atlanta
Rotowire
Ejiofor was selected by the Hawks with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Ejiofor dominated the interior during his senior season at St. John's, posting averages of 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game. He's an elite defender and solid passer, but he still needs to develop a three-point shot. Ejiofor could have a tough time finding minutes in the rotation during his rookie season, as he seems likely to battle for reserve big-man minutes. However, the Hawks may not be done adding to their frontcourt behind Onyeka Okongwu this offseason.
