Hawks' Corey Kispert: Role uncertain for 2026-27
Kispert will have added competition for playing time after the Hawks acquired both Luguentz Dort and Aaron Wiggins this offseason.
Kispert was traded from Washington to Atlanta last January, averaging 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 18.2 minutes per game in 39 regular-season appearances with the Hawks. However, the club traded for Wiggins, Dort and Ryan Nembhard this summer, giving up Zaccharie Risacher and draft capital in the two deals. Kispert's floor-spacing ability could help him retain a meaningful role, but he isn't guaranteed significant minutes in a crowded wing group.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Strong showing for Canada
Alexander-Walker recorded 26 points (8-17 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 35 minutes during Canada's 97-92 win over Argentina in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
The 27-year-old is coming off a breakout 2025-26 campaign in which he earned Most Improved Player honors after averaging career highs of 20.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 39.9 percent from three-point range during the regular season. Atlanta added more perimeter depth this offseason, including Luguentz Dort, which could make it difficult for Alexander-Walker to duplicate last season's offensive volume.

Hawks' Buddy Hield: Strong showing in win
Hield recorded 19 points (7-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during the Bahamas' 100-82 win over Panama in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
The veteran sharpshooter's $9.7 million salary for 2026-27 was fully guaranteed by Atlanta this offseason, but his role remains uncertain on an extremely crowded Hawks roster. Hield averaged 7.6 points while making 1.0 three-pointers per game during the regular season in 2025-26, but Atlanta's collection of perimeter options could make consistent minutes difficult to come by.

Hawks' Luguentz Dort: Shines for Canada
Dort recorded 25 points (8-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Canada's 97-92 win over Argentina in Monday's FIBA World Cup qualifier.
The 27-year-old will begin a new chapter in 2026-27 after being traded from Oklahoma City to Atlanta during the offseason. Dort averaged just 8.3 points per game last regular season, and he'll join a deep Hawks perimeter rotation that also features Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, CJ McCollum and Buddy Hield. Dort's defense should earn him consistent playing time, but the competition for shots is expected to limit his fantasy ceiling.

Hawks' Asa Newell: Targeting larger role
Newell will look to build upon his rookie campaign after averaging just 11.4 minutes across 44 regular-season appearances.
The young big remains an intriguing developmental piece due to his athleticism, rebounding and ability to finish around the basket, though Atlanta's frontcourt depth could continue to limit his opportunities. Newell is unlikely to warrant much attention in standard fantasy formats unless he secures a substantially larger role in his second season.

Hawks' Ryan Nembhard: Not guaranteed a role
Nembhard will look to establish himself in Atlanta's backcourt after joining an organization with plenty of competition for guard minutes.
Nembhard's passing and ability to organize an offense are his strongest avenues toward earning playing time, though he's unlikely to begin the season with a significant role. Nembhard's fantasy appeal will consequently be limited unless injuries or roster movement create a larger opportunity.

Hawks' Zuby Ejiofor: To fight for minutes
Ejiofor enters his rookie campaign after the Hawks selected him 23rd overall in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The 6-foot-9 forward flashed his two-way potential during Summer League, including a performance in which he recorded 13 points, six rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Atlanta's veteran depth could prevent Ejiofor from immediately seeing heavy minutes, but his rebounding and defensive ability give him a path toward becoming a useful rotation piece.

Hawks' Kingston Flemings: Could be heavily involved
Flemings enters his rookie season after Atlanta selected him with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Hawks president of basketball operations Onsi Saleh praised Flemings' competitiveness on both ends of the floor following the draft, and the young guard should have an opportunity to earn minutes despite Atlanta's considerable perimeter depth. Flemings' immediate fantasy value will depend on how quickly he can carve out a role, but his draft capital makes him one of the organization's most important developmental pieces.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: More competition for touches
Alexander-Walker could face increased competition for minutes after Atlanta added Luguentz Dort, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
Additionally, the Hawks added rookie Kingston Flemings while previously acquiring Aaron Wiggins. Alexander-Walker's defensive versatility and three-point shooting should still earn him a big role in the rotation, but the Hawks suddenly have much greater depth on the wing, making it more difficult for him to secure consistent touches. As a result, Alexander-Walker's upside may not be as appealing as it was in 2025-26.

Hawks' Jalen Wilson: Lands two-way deal with Hawks
Wilson agreed to a two-way deal with the Hawks on Monday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.
A second-round pick of the Nets in 2023, Wilson will move on to a new organization after three seasons in Brooklyn. He was an occasional member of the Brooklyn rotation in 2025-26, averaging 6.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 15.9 minutes per game over 54 appearances. As one of Atlanta's three two-way players, Wilson will be little more than a depth option at forward and could end up seeing most of his playing time in the G League when the roster is at close to full strength.
