Pape Sy is expected to play for the Hawks during Summer League. Sy is built like an NBA swingman (6'6", 210 lbs) but he plays like a combo guard and has limited offensive skills. He struggled in both the D-League and France last season and we don't expect him to make the Hawks' regular season roster. Their decision to draft him No. 53 overall in 2010 was odd, and their decision to buy out his French contract and sign him in 2011 was downright inexplicable.

Pape Sy is on his way back to France and will sign with Gravelines-Dunkerque. This was an expected move and Sy will return to playing professionally in France. It's possible he could earn himself a training camp invite next year if he shows out well.

Pape Sy will return to his French team if he doesn't get a contract in the NBA by January 13. Sy was waived by Atlanta just before the season began and hasn't garnered much interest on the open market yet. He'll wait to see if an injury opens an opportunity with another club, but it sounds like he's headed back to France at this time.

Pape Sy, who was last seen playing in France, is back with the Hawks and will likely be Shawn Teague's back up at point guard while Kirk Hinrich is injured. Sy is unproven and a longshot to have any fantasy value. But if Teague somehow struggles, he could get some run. Just keep an eye on him early in the season.

Former Hawks forward Pape Sy has reportedly agreed to a deal with the French team BCM Gravelines. Sy, a French citizen, was the 53rd pick in the 2010 draft. He bounced between the NBA and the D-League for a while and never managed to earn a steady role in Atlanta. His departure is hardly a blip on the radar, even during these lean times for NBA news.
