Bogdan Bogdanovic - Modest performance SaturdayBogdanovic totaled seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 loss to Memphis.

ImpactBogdanovic continues to deliver underwhelming performances, scoring no more than 10 points for the fourth straight game. It's been a slow process for Bogdanovic, having missed 13 games earlier in the season due to injury. The emergence of Dyson Daniels has resulted in Bogdanovic playing fewer minutes when compared to the past few seasons. He should remain a consistent part of the rotation, albeit one with a lower ceiling than initially thought.

Dyson Daniels - Records six steals in lossDaniels recorded 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and six steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

ImpactDaniels reminded everyone of his elite defensive upside, recording at least five steals for the seventh time this season. With Trae Young sidelined due to a heel injury, Daniels took control of the offense, tallying at least six assists for just the fourth time since joining the Hawks. With or without Young on the court, Daniels should continue to build a case for Defensive Player of the Year honors, currently averaging 3.9 combined steals and blocks.

Vít Krejcí - Tallies seven points in spot startKrejci registered seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 loss to the Grizzlies.

ImpactKrejci was handed a starting spot Saturday, filling in for Trae Young who was ruled out due to a heel issue. Despite the opportunity, Krejci failed to produce anything of note, a trend that has been brewing all season. He possesses an intriguing skill set but the opportunities to play meaningful minutes are simply too few and far between at this point.

Cam Spencer - Rare appearance in winSpencer notched zero points (0-1 FG) in two minutes during Saturday's 128-112 victory over the Hawks.

ImpactSpencer suited up for just the fifth time this season, playing two minutes during garbage time. It's been an underwhelming start to his career, averaging 4.2 points and 1.4 assists in 11.2 minutes per game. The Grizzlies are blessed with a deep roster, preventing Spencer from stepping into a consistent role. Barring a miracle, Spencer is unlikely to feature as an every-night part of the rotation moving forward.

Desmond Bane - Lands team-high 23 pointsBane contributed 23 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and four steals across 27 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 victory over the Hawks.

ImpactBane shouldered more of the offensive load with Ja Morant (back) sidelined, scoring a team-high 23 points. After a slow start to the season, Bane has been able to slowly turn things around, scoring at least 15 points in six of his past eight appearances. Despite the slow ramp-up, Bane should continue to play a significant role moving forward. His next opportunity to impress will come against the Clippers on Monday.

Scotty Pippen Jr. - Thrives in spot startPippen finished with 22 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 win over Atlanta.

ImpactPippen shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Ja Morant who was sidelined due to a back injury. The promotion afforded Pippen significant playing time, during which he delivered his best game in almost a month. Prior to Saturday, Pippen had exceeded 20 minutes only once in the past nine games. If Morant is forced to miss more time, Pippen should continue to see an uptick in minutes and quite possibly, production.
