Lingering Hawks question remains as training camp approaches

After trading for Kristaps Porzingis, the Atlanta Hawks have perhaps the best and most well-rounded starting lineup in the league. Porzingis is bound to miss time next season, however, either through injury or load management.

With Porzingis's injury history, Onyeka Okongwu will have to prove he is a capable starting center next season for Atlanta to reach their lofty title aspirations. After stepping into the starting lineup midway through last season, Okongwu was one of the most fascinating under-the-radar stories in the league.

Okongwu played center in his first 12 games as a starter, where Atlanta put up a dismal 3-9 record.
