Hawks’ Vit Krejci Delivers NBA’s Best Pass of the Season in Preseason Showdown!

Last season, Vit Krejci was a key reserve for the Atlanta Hawks, averaging 24 minutes per game with contributions of 6.1 points and 2.4 assists. Selected by the Washington Wizards in the second round of the 2020 NBA draft, Krejci is now in his fourth NBA season and has made some memorable plays. However, his performance in a recent preseason matchup against the Indiana Pacers was particularly outstanding and will likely be featured in his career highlights.

Indeed, Krejci has proven to be a formidable player on the court.

In the fourth quarter of the exhibition game, Krejci made a stunning play. He stole the ball from Kendall Brown during a fast break, took a single dribble, and then delivered a remarkable side-armed, spinning, three-quarter court bounce pass to Kobe Bufkin, setting up one of the most impressive assists of the season.

The reactions from Bufkin and the team’s bench were telling. The precision of the pass, sneaking right under the defender’s hand, was so pinpoint that it could have been mistaken for a throw from a professional quarterback. It’s clear that Krejci’s skills are turning heads and should be closely watched this season.
