The Atlanta Hawks have held workouts with three more college players, starting with Mercer's Langston Hall, the point guard and Atlanta native who led the Bears to their incredible victory over Duke in this year's NCAA tournament (excuse my excited bias as a student and fan!). Hall, probably the second best athlete in the Atlantic Sun conference behind USC Upstate's Torrey Craig, averaged 15.4 points this season while leading the Bears to the A-Sun regular and postseason championships.
2014 A-Sun POY Langston Hall worked out with Timberwolves today. At Rockets and Hawks earlier this week #NBA #Busy.

The Hawks also saw starting guard Nick Johnson of Arizona and point guard Billy Baron of Canisius.
Great workout in ATL today. 3rd city in 4 days.
