Rotowire
Flemings had seven points (3-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Monday's 113-110 preseason win over Oklahoma City.
Flemings made his second start of the preseason, with Atlanta giving the majority of its key players the night off. It's been a steady preseason for the rookie, flashing some upside on both ends of the floor. While he isn't slated to play a major role for the Hawks in his first season, there is a chance he touches the floor on most nights, serving as a third or fourth option behind the likes of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels and CJ McCollum.

Hawks' Kingston Flemings: Not starting Thursday
Rotowire
Flemings isn't starting in Thursday's preseason game against the Spurs, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The rookie started Monday against the Grizzlies and notched 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and two assists across 25 minutes. However, he'll head to the bench for this one, with Aaron Wiggins starting instead.

Hawks' Kingston Flemings: Decent output in spot start
Rotowire
Flemings registered 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and two assists across 25 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Flemings drew the start Monday due to the absence of CJ McCollum (nose) and logged the most minutes among Atlanta's starters, giving the rookie an extended opportunity in his preseason debut. He struggled with efficiency, committing three turnovers and recording just two assists, and his free-throw shooting was also subpar. However, Flemings is a candidate to see steady minutes off the bench in the Hawks' backcourt despite his rookie status, though his role throughout the remainder of the preseason will be worth monitoring.
