Hazell to Play in Summer League With Hawks

Former Seton Hall guard Jeremy Hazell will play for the Atlanta Hawks in the Las Vegas Summer League, according to a Tweet by his agent, Seth Cohen.

“They’ve been high on Jeremy for a while and they want him to travel straight from mini-camp to the Vegas Summer League,” Cohen told SNY.tv. by phone.

The mini-camp runs July 9-12 and then he plays in the Summer League from July 13-22.

Hazell participated in training camp with the Phoenix Suns a year ago and then was invited to join their D-League affiliate for the postseason.

A 6-5, 180-pound guard, Hazell played briefly with Lucentum Alicante in Spain. An All-Big East Third Team selection, Hazell averaged 19.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.4 steals in 18 games his senior season in 2010-11. He finished his career ranked third all-time in scoring at Seton Hall with 2,146 points and set a Big East Conference record with 201 made three-pointers in conference games.
