Popular Post Spud2nique Posted October 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) I agree even though BSPN is still garbage they hypin my boy and they right in this one ☝ https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34697196/nba-preview-2022-23-10-breakout-candidates-including-former-no-1-pick-eurobasket-phenom (for those who don’t want to click @kg01 and if I could go back I wouldn’t myself I copied and paste OO bit). Onyeka Okongwu | C | Atlanta Hawks Gary Dineen/NBAE via Getty Images Through his first two seasons in Atlanta, Okongwu has shown flashes of what led the Hawks to pick him No. 6 overall in the 2020 draft. And, between the combination of Danilo Gallinari departing this summer, the uncertainty surrounding the future of John Collins and Clint Capela entering his ninth NBA season, the opportunity is there for the 6-foot-8 big man to stake his claim to a far bigger long-term role. EDITOR'S PICKS NBA stats-based win projections: Why one model has the Warriors fighting for a playoff spot 4dKevin Pelton The five biggest questions surrounding the drama-filled Brooklyn Nets 4dNick Friedell Okongwu has played just 98 out of a possible 154 games over the course of his first two NBA seasons. But the basketball world saw what he is capable of during Atlanta's run to the Eastern Conference finals in 2021, including when he was arguably Atlanta's best option against Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in that series. Okongwu's combination of defensive prowess and efficient inside scoring is a recipe for success, and his growth could be the key to Atlanta exceeding expectations in 2021-22. -- Tim Bontemps Edited October 4, 2022 by Spud2nique 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted October 4, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 There's a lot of expectations on OO.. he was a top 6 pick in what's turning out to be a moderate to strong draft. He also has had his first summer with no complications. Finally, the role and the deck is clear for him to be whatever he wants to be except a starter right now. That means that on the 2nd Unit, even with DJM and Bogi out there, he can be the man. Finally, he has the backing of the FO with him. So let's just hope he lives up to his potential. It's time for him to stop being a guy in the shadows and step up into the light. Hard ask but he has all the tools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
