Atlanta Hawks' big man Onyeka Okongwu had an excellent back half of last season after breaking into the starting center spot that Clint Capela had held for years. It was the best offensive stretch of his career, averaging 15.0 points per game on remarkable efficiency and chipping in an impressive 10.0 rebounds a night.
While Okongwu dazzled statistically, he didn't address the biggest question that has plagued his career: Is he a starting-level defensive center? Sam Vecenie said he is not in his 2020 re-draft, where he took Okongwu 13th, below Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart.
