The Atlanta Hawks have a tremendous problem to have. They have two quality players who have the capability of starting for them and both of them bring different qualities to the team.

These players are Danilo Gallinari and John Collins and as Collins nears a return from injury we need to figure out who starts.

Collins is the incumbent starter who has had the job since being drafted by the team.

He was given the bag in the offseason and responded with one of his best seasons as he settled into his role, which was to give the team what it needs every night.

Collins’ athleticism allows him to spark this team with a key block or a huge putback dunk.

Without the athleticism of Collins, the Hawks need to play a bit differently when Gallinari starts.

[{"selector":"#anim-6318e5af-bc15-498f-9759-44a87fec778e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-6.5637063001368166%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Gallinari is able to space the floor more effectively than Collins thanks to being a higher volume, more effective 3-point shooter.
