-Highland’s pickup of Fitzgerald this summer was one of the more unheralded moves but should be one of the most impactful transfers in the area. Fitzgerald gives the Hawks a floor spacing W/F tweener that can block shots, finish plays above the rim, and be disruptive defensively by guarding multiple positions. He did all of the above on Sunday, generating most of his own offense off the glass but also knocking down his shooting opportunities when the ball found him on the perimeter.
