OO turning into a top tier play finisher in a more wide open attack?

More minutes and more field goal attempts is what he needs during the second half of the season. How big of a weakness is it going to be that he doesn't have three point range?

And it did show up!
But more important than that tonight, what a defensive presence from Okongwu, the 3 steals while guarding perfectly...

OO has started 17 games for us this season. He needs to be a starter opening night next season so we can truly see what what kind if impact he has before we extend him. This off-sesson needs to be a busy one and we need to find a 5 that can shoot three pointers.

Unreal that Nate wouldn't let him shoot threes, and Quin has him hitting from deep in a crucial playoff game. If he can do this regularly, it's a game changer.

Naz Reid, Stewart, and Poeltl have all gotten between $14m-$20m AAV over 3-4 years ...

What does an extension for OO look like?

4-80 seems like the mid range for OO. Could be a little lower or higher but that probably his median.

I expect him to receive $20m per season if he does indeed breakout. However, giving our young Hawks $20m is risky. John Collins is a good example. Hunter?

It's a gamble on his future improvements, no doubt. But he is in demand, and he'll likely draw offers for at least that amount next summer in RFA.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
