Facing the Lakers career high in assists, are the Hawks new stars in the backcourt undergoing various transformations?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Atlanta Hawks at home defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 122-102. After this game, the Eagles, who had won two of the last three games, improved their record to 5-5, and their ranking rose to fifth in the Eastern Conference; while the Lakers, who ended their five-game winning streak, saw their record drop to 7-3, and their ranking fell to fourth in the Western Conference.

In this game, the performance of Dyson Daniels, the Eagles' starting backcourt star, was impressive. Daniels played 36 minutes and 3 seconds, made 5 of 8 shots, and had a near-triple-double of 10 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of +16. It is worth mentioning that 13 assists is also a new high for Daniels in a single game in his NBA career. Daniels still maintained a very high level on the defensive end and showed his due defensive ability. The most important thing is that Daniels also played a decisive role on the offensive end. He has a certain breakthrough ability and scored some points. Moreover, his performance in organizing and linking offense is extremely outstanding. He has also successfully played his role in this aspect. Overall, Daniels' performance in this game can be regarded as both offensive and defensive, which is also an important factor for the team to achieve a big victory.

Daniels from Australia was born in March 2003. He is 22 years old, 201cm tall and 90kg in weight. He is a rising backcourt star selected by the New Orleans Pelicans with the 8th overall pick in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft. In the NBA regular season last season, Daniels played a total of 76 times, averaging 33.8 minutes per game. He averaged 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 3 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. He also had 2 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 49.3% from the field, 34% from the three-point range, and 59.3% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Daniels has averaged 33 minutes per game in the first 10 games, averaging 9.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also has 1.9 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage is 48.3%, three-point shooting percentage is 37.5%, and free throw shooting percentage is 61.1%.

Daniels' overall performance this season is quite good. He has also maintained his strong performance on the defensive end last season. Although his scoring average has declined on the offensive end, his role in passing and organization has also improved a lot. Since Trae Young will be absent from the game for another period of time, Daniels does need to take on more tasks in this area, which will also be of great help to the team's record. Next, we can also see if Daniels can accumulate confidence through this game and perform at a higher level in the next games.
