I don't think it's a surprise that Nickeil Alexander-Walker is having a career-best season with the Atlanta Hawks. The former Minnesota Timberwolves wing was always going to have more opportunities in Atlanta. However, it's absolutely surprising that he's been this good.

Alexander-Walker is averaging 20.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.9 stocks with 46.6/39.2/85.9 shooting splits. This is an 11-point increase from last season with the Wolves. He also notched his career high of 38 points earlier this season. Over the last three games, Alexander-Walker is averaging 30 points and netting 5.
