  • Host's view: it is a recipe for disaster when Wiggins, rather than Alexander-Walker, Johnson, McCollum or Daniels, is the one who saves the day. He adds that it's early and there is no need to panic. at 20:30

• Podcast Locked On Hawks · 10 points · Oct 22
  • After Dort entered, Flemings, Wiggins and Landale came in together mid-first-quarter, forming a four-man bench group. The host would like a bit more staggering in the future. at 14:05
  • Aaron Wiggins played 31 minutes, the second-most on the team, which surprised the host. He played the last ~17.5 minutes straight, including the entire fourth quarter. at 25:39
  • The Hawks closed the game with Wiggins rather than Dort or McCollum, even though they could have gone back to McCollum several times. at 26:15
  • Host analysis: Wiggins' extra minutes were partly due to foul trouble for Jalen Johnson, especially Alexander-Walker, and maybe Dort late; after that the Hawks simply rode him. at 25:54
  • Quin Snyder (reported): Asked indirectly by the host about closing with Wiggins, Snyder talked about the two-way appeal Wiggins gives them (host's paraphrase). at 26:22
  • Host analysis: the closing choice was probably also about avoiding defensive concerns. McCollum can be picked on by Orlando's wings, while Wiggins is bigger and more physical. at 26:29
  • Host prediction: the Hawks should be a top-five-to-seven team in forcing turnovers (they ranked 6th and 5th the last two years), with Dort and Wiggins added to create havoc. at 8:02
  • Wiggins: 16 points off the bench, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, plus-2. The host calls him a good signing and says the Hawks probably would have lost without him. at 26:43
  • Dort, in his Hawks debut: 8 points, 4 rebounds, 5 fouls. Alexander-Walker and Wiggins complimented him after the game. The host values having another physical defender for Banchero and Franz Wagner. at 25:05
  • Nickeil Alexander-Walker; Aaron Wiggins (reported): The host thinks Alexander-Walker said after the game that it was big just to end the third quarter and reset, and thinks Wiggins said the same. at 17:25
