Surged with 25 points from bench McCollum racked up 25 points (11-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 141-116 loss to the Lakers.

Impact A move to the first unit seems to be a foregone conclusion for McCollum, who joined the Hawks in the Trae Young trade. The Hawks can't afford to keep the veteran on the bench for long, and either Dyson Daniels or Nickeil Alexander-Walker will have to be removed to allow for his insertion into the starting five. A three-guard set won't work, and it remains to be seen who will end up on the short end of the situation.

Modest production in team debut McCollum amassed 12 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.

Impact McCollum made his Hawks debut Sunday after being acquired Wednesday in the deal that sent Trae Young to the Wizards. McCollum logged 24 minutes off the bench and finished as one of six Atlanta players to score in double figures, though he failed to connect from three-point range. After averaging 18.8 points, 3.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 30.9 minutes across 35 starts this season with the Wizards, the veteran's role and usage with his new team will be worth monitoring going forward.
