Gorgui Dieng adds a different dynamic to the Hawks center rotation

The Atlanta Hawks’ roster is nearly complete with 14 players currently under contract (not including Sharife Cooper and Skylar Mays, who are on Two-Way deals). For the first time in a long time, the Hawks have quality depth across the entire roster.

The center position is one that has improved depth from last season, and has some versatility as well since some of the forwards can slide to the five spot as well.

Though the position may look strong on paper, it won’t be as strong on the floor to start the season. Onyeka Okongwu will likely be sidelined until January or February after having surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
