​The Atlanta Hawks’ Dyson Daniels has a complicated skill set. There may be an unconventional way for the Hawks to maximize his abilities.The astute reader here knows that “complicated skill set” is a thinly veiled way of saying “can’t shoot.” Otherwise, Daniels does whatever you’d like on a basketball floor. He’s an elite defensive playmaker, great passer, and overall smart player.Still, for as much as he contributes, his inability to knock down a 3-pointer can make his team’s life difficult. Daniels shot 18.8% from three last year. It was a career low, but it’s been an issue for Daniels throughout his career.But there might be a way to hide it.Hawks Could Change Daniels’ RoleIf Jalen Johnson were a better shooter, it could be less of an issue. Since that’s his primary weakness as well, and since he’s the Hawks’ primary playmaker, there’s value in surrounding Johnson with shooting.The Hawks could apply the same principles with Daniels if he piloted the second unit.That’s the suggestion here: Daniels should be the Hawks’ sixth man. It’s a bold suggestion; there’s no denying that. Some would regard Daniels as the Hawks’ second-most important player. Even those who couldn’t go that far would surely agree that Daniels is high on the team’s pecking order.That’s fine. Nobody is suggesting Daniels’ minutes should even be significantly reduced. The Hawks can find 30-ish minutes a night for him off the bench. As a multipositional player, Daniels can handle time at the 1, 2, or 3.Nobody is saying he can’t play with Johnson, either — although the Hawks could stand to minimize their time together. It should be noted that last year, the Hawks were a solid +4.1 when the duo shared the floor, but a phenomenal +11.7 when Daniels was on the court without his superstar teammate.Daniels is well-equipped to lead the bench.But who would take his starting role?Hawks Have Options at the ThreeFrankly, it should probably be Aaron Wiggins.Sure, Luguentz Dort is generally the more impactful player, but at 6-foot-4, he’s small for the position. With Onyeka Okongwu at the 5, that would make the Hawks undersized at two positions. Wiggins has the length most teams look for at the three, and in the interest of offensive fit, he’s also a more reliable shooter.Yet, Dort would work as well. He’s at least a much better shooter than Daniels.If anything, this conversation pinpoints just how much depth the Hawks have. They have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to their wing rotation. It’s fine if they opt to start the year with Daniels in the opening lineup, but if the spacing proves problematic, this is a change they ought to consider.It could be the best way to simplify Daniels’ skill set.
