Landey said Kobe Bufkin, Seth Lundy and Mouhamed Gueye were targeted early.
Seth Lundy said Thursday night was surreal… “It honestly was the best day of my life.”
Kobe Bufkin also said it was the best day of his life “Hopefully there are some better days down the road and we can bring some championships to the town…”
Mouhamed Gueye said his family meant the world to him. He said they’ve been supporting him since he left home in 2019… he’s the baby of the family.
Bufkin said his family laid the foundation for him. “At an early age I felt like I was built for success and I thank them for it.”
Lundy is the youngest of 7. ” To share this moment with them is the best, honestly.”
Lundy said Atlanta has been great. Noted he went to the Dream game on his first day. He said the game felt like more of a party than a game. He can tell the culture in Atlanta is different but a good different.
Bufkin said the city has shown a lot of love already.
Gueye said he feels blessed to be here.
Bufkin, Geuye and Lundy all said that Dejounte Murray reached out them. Gueye said that Jalen Johnson also reached out him.
Lundy said in watching this team he learned “Don’t get Trae Young mad.”
Bufkin already referring to himself as part of the team “In watching last year ‘WE’ went through some ups and downs”
They obviously made some noise in the playoffs that showed that they could compete at the highest level, The defensive energy from Dejounte and AJ and those guys really stuck out to me, and I’m just looking forward to being able to add to that energy. ”
Lundy said that they had dinner with Snyder and they’ve learned that he’s a jokester off the court.
Landry Fields said that one of the hallmarks of being a ‘Hawk’ is humility.

Kobe Bufkin said he’s had a lot of conversations with “Coach Q” already and that he can already tell Snyder is a coach that demands a lot from players, which he likes.
Gueye notes that he’s already learned Quin Snyder is into details.
(This has been a very common sentiment from players since Snyder’s arrival)
Landry Fields: “For us and what we’re trying to build, shooting is a premium.”

Fields on Gueye:
“The tools that he has at his size are rare.”
Landry Fields said that a trait that the Hawks seek is humility, because that one leads to the ability to be coached.
[Kobe Bufkin will wear jersey #4. Seth Lundy will wear jersey #8. Mo Gueye will wear jersey #18.](https://twitter.com/klchouinard/status/1673351311931109382?s=46&t=dBLyV43_iGgzOBRNUPRJWA)

Seth sure didn’t act like it😐 and y’all called Dre an emotionless robot
Landry was cooking in this draft man. I love all the picks/UDFAs. Seems like he prioritized defense, size, and shooting. Hopefully they can make it out of College Park
“Don’t get Trae mad” aka you won’t get the ball:( jk I love Trae but that’s kinda a shitty thing for a rookie to come into as the FIRST thing ya know
I love how the Hawks DNA is all about “humility” when Trae is by all accounts one of the most confident and cocky guys in the league (not that that’s a bad thing!! that energy is part of what makes him so elite)
