Summary
The Atlanta Hawks’ season turned around when Onyeka Okongwu stepped into the starting center role after trading Kristaps Porzingis — and he’s been a revelation. Far from just a defensive anchor, Okongwu’s elite catch-and-shoot shooting (377 attempts, 57% success rate) has transformed the team’s spacing and offense. With Zuby Ejiofor and Jock Landale also contributing, there’s no need to trade for Jarrett Allen — unless Cleveland throws in a nuclear deal. Okongwu may be the Hawks’ long-term answer at center, right under their noses. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
