Atlanta Hawks assistant coach Igor Kokoskov applauded Mouhamed Gueye’s daily positivity following last night’s 127-121 home loss vs. the Milwaukee Bucks (15 points/5 rebounds/1 assist/zero turnovers/2 steals/1 block/5-7 FG/4-6 3-PT/1-2 FT).

“If somebody deserves some good things to happen: that’s definitely a lot of guys on the roster, and Mo is one of them. He comes every day to work. He comes with the same focus, with the same energy. We’re instilling good energy and positive energy from him as a staff and his teammates. So works hard every day, works on his game. Doesn’t matter if he plays for a G League team or he’s just on the bench and supporting guys, he’s always (the) same and I really respect that. I have a lot of respect for people like him that he is every day (the) same. Even if he didn’t play tonight, he would be the same. So, happy for him. Good performance. I think we needed size, we needed length. Obviously when he plays, when he’s on the court: we look differently. He eats space. He covers space. That block was really impressive at the end of the game, it’s just a spark – that’s something we’re gonna see in the future from this kid.”
