Impact Newell remained in the rotation, largely due to the fact that Atlanta was without a number of key pieces. While he has flashed some interesting upside this season, Newell's role is typically that of a depth piece.

Impact Newell continues to flash some upside on both ends of the floor, flirting with his first career double-double. It appears as though Newell is now ahead of Mouhamed Gueye in the rotation, having played at least 16 minutes in four of the past five games.

Impact Newell once again flashed his upside, producing on both ends of the floor. With Mouhamed Gueye sidelined due to a shoulder injury, Newell shifted up in the rotation, logging at least 20 minutes for the first time in his past 16 appearances. Although he does appear to have the makings of a decent fantasy player, it is unlikely we will see any sort of ceiling this season, given the Hawks' depth.
