Dyson Daniels logged 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.Daniels has been a low-usage offensive player for the Atlanta Hawks, but his defense has been excellent. He's recorded at least one steal in each of his first four games, averaging 2.8 swipes in his 32.5 minutes. He's also blocking 1.0 shots per game. As the No. 8 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Daniels was known for his defense, so these types of performances should continue.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Thrives in starting role
Dyson Daniels recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and five steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 win over the Nets.Daniels looked fantastic on both ends of the floor, serving as Robin to Trae Young's Batman. Despite some conjecture as to whether he would start, sure enough, Daniels ran with the starting five and certainly didn't look out of place. His overall fantasy value is likely to rely heavily on his defensive contributions, of which he had six. His offensive repertoire is a work in progress, although he flashed some upside here, attacking the basket and confidently firing away from deep. Daniels was viewed by some as a viable late-round flier in drafts, while others were less confident when it came to his draft pedigree. This is just a small sample, but as long as he can play upwards of 30 minutes per night, he could continue to surprise people and end up being a fantasy stalwart for years to come.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Strong two-way performance
Dyson Daniels compiled 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-7 3PT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 24 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Thunder.Daniels remained in the starting lineup, a role that could very well be his for the taking when the season starts next week. He makes sense as a defensive stopper alongside Trae Young, with Bogdan Bogdanovic providing a scoring punch off the bench. Despite his limited offensive upside, Daniels should be considered late in drafts, especially for his defensive capabilities and out-of-position rebounding.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Productive in spot start
Dyson Daniels finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), a rebound, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason win over the Pacers.Daniels got the start alongside Trae Young in the backcourt since Bogdan Bogdanovic was rested. The former Pelicans guard did a solid job on both ends of the court. That said, Daniels is expected to open the regular season with a bench role, which should limit his upside considerably regardless of how he looks in preseason.
