The NBA season tips off on Tuesday night. The Atlanta Hawks get their season started on Wednesday in Chicago to take on the Bulls. Before heading out, Hawks SG Kevin Huerter stopped by “Dukes & Bell” and spoke on the team’s offseason additions and how that makes them a team that should compete for a playoff berth.

“We are (a playoff caliber team), there’s a lot of talent in the building. We just need to do the little things and obviously buy into our defense.” Huerter said.

He added that the squad that was put together has some real talent.

“The talent is there. Now we’ve got the vets to add to the young guys we already have here. So the playoffs are definitely something that’s on our radar.”
