Atlanta Hawks lineup possibility No. 1)  Keep the winning formula at the two-guard

So, this lineup would be Clint Capela at center, John Collins at power forward, De’Andre Hunter at the wing, Trae Young at the point, and Kevin Huerter as the starting shooting guard. This lineup has been successful for the last four games of this season.

Since he moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Cam Reddish, Huerter has been almost a good luck charm for the Hawks. They lost the game against the Portland Trail Blazers meaning the Hawks have won three of the four games where Huerter has been in the lineup.

While he was not effective as a scorer in the last game, this was because Young had a night out. As a result, Huerter took fewer shots and didn’t have his best night. Hs still was able to contribute to the team by getting rebounds and assists so was a solid contributor.

Reddish was able to come off the bench and scored fifteen points, to go along with five rebounds, two assists, a block, and a steal. To be honest, this is one of the best examples of why Reddish should come off the bench, he is able to have a greater impact on the game.

If the Hawks are without Young, then Huerter should stay in the lineup as he is a good alternative ball handler. Rajon Rondo would move into the starting point guard position given his experience. If Hunter is not available then Reddish will slip into that wing role.
