What happened: Aaron Wiggins opened his Hawks tenure with 17.0 points per game across his first three appearances. All three came off the bench. He shot 58.1 percent from the field and 52.6 percent from three-point range.

Why it matters: Atlanta added bench scoring when it acquired Wiggins for two second-round picks. Early production stabilizes the second-unit rotation entering the 2026-27 regular season.

What to watch: Atlanta continues its early-season schedule with Wiggins in the reserve rotation. His shooting volume and bench role bear watching over the next stretch.
