The Atlanta Hawks are facing an interesting time for the first three months of the season. Key reserve, Onyeka Okongwu is out due to shoulder surgery for that time. The Hawks could turn to Bruno Fernando but that is an unlikely scenario given his complete lack of offense.
The Hawks need to look at some cheap options to replace Okongwu’s production until he returns. He is a key contributor to the Hawks’ second unit, being able to defend at a high level as well as contribute on offense through the pick and roll thanks to his connection with Lou Williams.
