Hawks’ early chemistry on display with support for Kingston Flemings

The entire Atlanta Hawks roster demonstrated early team chemistry by making a surprise appearance at rookie guard Kingston Flemings' high school jersey retirement ceremony. The 19-year-old top-ten draft pick has made an immediate positive impression on the organization, earning praise for his maturity and on-court feel heading into his first NBA campaign.

Zach Langley notes that Flemings unexpectedly started in his preseason debut following a late injury report change for veteran guard CJ McCollum. While Flemings is not slated to start on opening night, the Hawks reportedly view him as their long-term starting point guard and plan to rely on him in their nightly rotation.
