Okongwu’s advanced metrics aren’t as terrific as they used to be, but he’s still averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds per 36, shooting 64 percent from 2-point range. His switchability should be more of an asset.
Okongwu is another in a long line of Hawks waiting for a bigger opportunity, but the question of whether that opportunity comes or not continues to be linger.
