Brea Shines, Toppin and Newell Dominate as Hawks Top Suns

The Atlanta Hawks picked up a decisive Summer League win over the Phoenix Suns, 98–80, led by standout performances from Jacob Toppin and rookie Asa Newell, while the Suns’ Koby Brea turned in an impressive all-around effort despite the loss.

For the Suns, Brea continued to showcase his versatility and shooting touch, finishing with 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists while knocking down a pair of threes and playing solid defense. The forward has been one of Phoenix’s more consistent contributors through Summer League play, showing a knack for finding open looks and contributing on the glass.

Atlanta’s frontcourt duo was dominant throughout. Toppin set the tone early, scoring 15 points on 60% shooting while adding 8 rebounds and showing off improved range with two made threes. His energy on both ends helped the Hawks control the tempo.

Newell, meanwhile, delivered his best Summer League showing yet. The rookie big man was unstoppable inside, pouring in 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds. His efficiency around the rim and activity on the boards gave Atlanta a steady interior presence all night.

The Hawks also got contributions from Nikola Đurišić (16 points, 4 assists) and strong bench play to seal the win, while Phoenix saw balanced but inefficient production from their supporting cast around Brea and Oso Ighodaro (18 points, 9 rebounds).

Scout’s Take

Michael Misa Could Fill Sharks’ Biggest Need Down the Middle The San Jose Sharks have been busy this offseason, adding veteran talent on the wings through trades and free agency — but one glaring hole remains at center. And they may already have the answer. Much of the offseason speculation in San Jose has centered on whether No. 2 overall pick Michael Misa will make the jump to the NHL this fall. Looking at the Sharks’ current roster, there’s certainly a spot waiting if he’s ready. Misa projects as a natural center, though his versatility allows him to shift to the wing if needed. With the Sharks’ deep stable of wingers, that likely won’t be necessary right away — especially with the center depth chart in need of a boost. Wings Stacked, Center Thin San Jose loaded up on the flanks this summer, trading for rugged right winger Ryan Reaves and signing Philipp Kurashev to join Tyler Toffoli and Adam Gaudette.
