The Atlanta Hawks received the news that Onyeka Okongwu was going to miss the next six months. This is going to have a fairly significant impact on the Hawks rotations. Okongwu, despite averaging low numbers, was incredibly effective when he hit the court.
Okongwu bought huge levels of energy every time that he hit the floor. He had a defensive intensity which really helped the second unit, especially as Danilo Gallinari and Lou Williams are not known for their defensive prowess.
