Tough, high-usage Hawks guard who can score and create
Newkirk was a proven Saint Joseph’s lead guard and a real tempo-setter, highlighted by a 2017-18 season in which he averaged 17.4 points and 3.9 assists while also producing big all-around games in the Atlantic 10.[7] He stood out for his shot-creation, playmaking, and toughness, including a strong return after ACL surgery in February 2017 and a stretch where he posted 22.5 points and 8.5 assists in a week.[1] If you want a guard who can carry usage, pressure defenses, and bring edge, he fits the profile.
