\u201cWe\u2019re ready to play and win some ball games for you guys, Kispert said.<\/p>\n

Both players should be important to the Hawks\u2019 rotation for the rest of the season, as they bring much-needed shooting and a veteran presense. For McCollum, regardless on if he starts or comes off the bench, he\u2019s a player that has always been able to get to a shot that he likes at any level, especially in the pull up game. He\u2019s also a veteran in the league, and with the Hawks being one of the youngest teams, he could bring some insight and knowledge to them.<\/p>\n

As for Kispert, he\u2019s still a young player, which fits the Hawks timeline, and is a 40% shooter from the three-point line this season. He also has not been afraid of putting the ball on the floor, which is another element he has in his game.<\/p>\n

The Hawks are currently the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference, but they are just a few games out of climbing up in the standings. It\u2019s going to take a lot of winning, but they have the talent on the team to do so, and they\u2019ve showed it throughout the season.<\/p>\n

They could also make some more deals before the deadline to improve their team, as there have been rumors they had interest in Anthony Davis<\/a>. With his recent injury, it\u2019s hard to see them still trying to acquire him, so they may have to pivot elsewhere.<\/p>\n
