Rotowire
Gueye had 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal across 17 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 103-102 preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Gueye was selected 39th overall by the Celtics in the 2023 NBA Draft, but he was redirected to the Hawks.

He'll need to fill out his frame, but the 20-year-old center projects to be a rim runner with above average scoring and playmaking skills. With Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu at center in Atlanta, it's hard to see Gueye getting any meaningful minutes as a rookie.
