Well, the Hawks now have some extra shooters. They traded their franchise player to get those shooters, but Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum are heading south to hopefully provide an offensive injection in the A.
With Trae out and Kispert + McCollum in, there are endless new lineup combinations head coach Quin Snyder can trot out the rest of the season. Well, maybe not endless. Probably like, 10. I'm not a math guy. Regardless, these are the three five-man combos that could give the Hawks a few extra dimensions they didn't have before.
1. The easy switch
Player | Position |
|---|---|
Dyson Daniels | Point guard |
CJ McCollum | Shooting guard |
Nickeil Alexander-Walker | Small forward |
Jalen Johnson | Power forward |
Onyeka Okongwu | Center |
This seems like the most obvious five to experiment with.
