“We know the Hawks view Dyson Daniels as their Jalen Brunson stopper, even if it hasn’t always worked out that way in the regular season.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that 'The Hawks view Dyson Daniels as their Jalen Brunson stopper' is explicitly stated in one web search result ('The big dilemma undersized Hawks are staring down in Knicks series: We know the Hawks view Dyson Daniels as their Jalen Brunson stopper...'). While other sources mention Daniels and Brunson, they do not independently corroborate this specific defensive designation. Therefore, it remains single-sourced.

“The Hawks are undersized, especially after the injury to center Jock Landale, and there’s no obvious solution to defending Towns.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that the Hawks are undersized and face defensive challenges is corroborated by multiple web search results. Specifically, one source discusses the 'biggest weakness' after Jock Landale's injury, and another mentions the 'versatile tandem of Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson always seem to give the Hawks problems,' confirming the defensive struggles and the impact of injuries/opponents like Towns.
