While the Atlanta Hawks did not have the game they wanted against the Utah Jazz, they were able to debut their rookie Onyeka Okongwu. Let’s take a look at how he went.

The Atlanta Hawks have had a problem all season, When Clint Capela, their starting center, goes to the bench, they have no one to defend the pant effectively. The Hawks have tried Nathan Knight and Bruno Fernando but both have struggled for various reasons. Now, the sixth pick of the 2020 draft, Onyeka Okongwu is available and the Hawks are going to use him.
