Why The Atlanta Hawks Do The Deal 

He should. After all, the Hawks already employ Capela. 

Defensively, the two are similar. With that said, Ayton is more advanced on the offensive end. The differences are subtle, but they matter. 

Ayton has some post moves. He can score with a reliable hook shot. Where Capela is almost strictly a rim runner, Ayton has a little more variance in his game. 

That variance would count for Atlanta. For a team that relies on so much offense from it’s backcourt, adding a little juice up front matters.
