Daniels reveals key to Hawks' three-guard lineup success

Dyson Daniels has revealed why Atlanta's three-guard lineup with CJ McCollum and Nickeil Alexander-Walker worked so well last season.

The Hawks became one of the league's strongest teams after McCollum entered the starting lineup, finishing the 2025-26 regular season with a 21-9 record over their final 30 games.

Daniels believes the trio's different playing styles were a major reason for their success. The Australian guard explained that each player could contribute in different ways and create opportunities for the others.

Daniels also highlighted how McCollum and Alexander-Walker can play both on and off the ball, which prevents them from taking opportunities away from each other.

The Hawks are expected to start the new season with the same three-guard combination, with Daniels looking forward to building on what the trio achieved last season.
