Bufkin found success from three-point range but struggled to get it going inside the arc. Despite his inefficiency, he did well distributing and was solid on the boards.

Hawks' Kobe Bufkin: Selected 15th by Atlanta
Bufkin was selected by the Hawks with the 15th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Bufkin has good size for a guard at 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-8 wingspan, and he offers a lot of tools on both ends of the court. He was a standout for Michigan last season, averaging 17.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals as a sophomore. Atlanta's backcourt is stacked with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, but Bufkin could emerge as a key contributor and instant-offense player off the bench.
