Nickeil Alexander-Walker is going to be awesome as a member of the Atlanta Hawks. That much is clear. What exactly his role will entail when the season kicks off, though, might not be as obvious. NAW will likely serve as the sixth man (or co-sixth man of sorts, with Zaccharie Risacher) but as the Hawks are without a tried-and-true backup point guard, he's likely to handle the ball more than he was asked to in Minnesota.
That might not be a bad thing; Alexander-Walker has a pretty good feel for the game. But him taking the reins of the second unit surely would be a new thing, as facilitation wasn't No.
