Onyeka Okongwu | C | Atlanta Hawks



Through his first two seasons in Atlanta, Okongwu has shown flashes of what led the Hawks to pick him No. 6 overall in the 2020 draft. And, between the combination of Danilo Gallinari departing this summer, the uncertainty surrounding the future of John Collins and Clint Capela entering his ninth NBA season, the opportunity is there for the 6-foot-8 big man to stake his claim to a far bigger long-term role.

Okongwu has played just 98 out of a possible 154 games over the course of his first two NBA seasons. But the basketball world saw what he is capable of during Atlanta's run to the Eastern Conference finals in 2021, including when he was arguably Atlanta's best option against Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in that series. Okongwu's combination of defensive prowess and efficient inside scoring is a recipe for success, and his growth could be the key to Atlanta exceeding expectations in 2021-22.

Excited for Okongwu.

Disappointed in Kaminsky and Collins.
