Of course, if he can see consistent minutes, then it's a great audition for either the Hawks or his first lucrative contract.

From Peachtree Hoops article titles preseason winners and loser in the winner column
"Mike Muscala
When training camp opened, Mike Muscala looked like he could have been on his way out. However, it became clear at the team’s media day that he was in better shape in terms of his roster spot than it appeared.
Still Muscala backed up his play on the court and looks like he will enter the regular season with his first real chance for consistent playing time. Muscala opened the preseason in the starting lineup in place of Paul Millsap and performed well averaging 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 56 percent from the field."

Good game, good minutes. He obviously begins the season as part of the rotation.

Nine points, 3 blocks, 4 boards, 2 steals and an assist in 26 minutes is pretty strong.

Mike saw action as both the backup PF and the backup center. Humphries only played a few minutes - and none in the second half until the final couple minutes of garbage time. Tavares and Scott didn't play at all.

Yeah watching him play against Philly now and he's doing a good job, but I'm not digging the man bun hair style.

At first glance I thought he was sporting a Ed Grimly costume for Halloween...boycotting the bunðŸ˜
That aside, he's playing really well and glad to see he's part of the rotation. But the NBA itself is hard to watch at times...so many terrible shot choices and often selfish play.

Through two games he is averaging 11.5 pts, 4.5 boards, 2.5 block, 1.5 asst and 1.5 steals. And he enjoyed watching the last 6 minutes of garbage time from the bench.
Got a Bucknell reference on the post game interview.

I walk back my comments about it Atlanta not being a good spot for him. If he keeps getting these minutes, it's more than enough time for him to demonstrate his value.
He looks quicker to me this year but they may be an optical illusion.

One other key stat is that Mike has zero turnovers thus far in 48 minutes. Turnovers were a bit of a problem for him the last two years, so this is a good sign. Also had no turnovers in his final five preseason games.

7 for 8 shooting should lead to more PT.
In today'a NBA, 11.5 point/game probably means about $8-$10 million per year which is just CRAZY!

More shake-ups with Atlanta's front court. Looks like Mike's roster spot is safe for a while. I hope is able to re-sign with the Hawks.
