What happened: Hawks rookie Kingston Flemings picked up a bigger defender on a switch during Las Vegas Summer League play. The No. 8 pick has spent his first pro games flashing playmaking alongside inconsistent interior shooting, as detailed in Wire Report's evaluation of his first two Summer League outings. Atlanta signed Flemings to a rookie deal on July 2.

Why it matters: Switchable defense is a key marker for a rookie guard's NBA fit, with teams increasingly hunting smaller players in space. Flemings taking the assignment against a bigger frontcourt player adds to Atlanta's early read on his two-way upside ahead of training camp.

What to watch: Flemings continues play in the Las Vegas Summer League slate this week.
