The Jazz decided not to continue with Forrest's agreement after he enjoyed two season's with the group following going undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft. Forrest joins an Atlanta group attempting to work on improving their position from eight-seed in the eastern conference following an Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 2021.
Driven by All-Star guard Trae Young, Atlanta brags a profound guard line with Bogdan Bogdanovic, Aaron and Justin Holiday, Dejounte Murray, A.J. Griffin Jr. also, Tyrese Martin. Forrest will have a daunting task to break his way into Hawks and contribute yet his size, physicality, and vision make him an appealing choice for a group searching for good backup guards.
