Kingston Flemings Promoted to Hawks Starting Lineup, Drops 14 Points

Kingston Flemings has taken over as the starting point guard for the Atlanta Hawks after CJ McCollum suggested the lineup change to head coach Quin Snyder. The No. 8 overall pick out of Houston capitalized on his first NBA start against the Washington Wizards, recording 14 points, three rebounds, and four assists while shooting 6-of-9 from the field in 23 minutes. He projects to maintain the starting job and serve as a rest-of-season option.
