Even though the Atlanta Hawks knew that Onyeka Okongwu likely wouldn’t be a day one starter when they selected him sixth overall in the 2020 draft mere months after acquiring Clint Capela from the Houston Rockets, I think most people at the time would have been slightly disappointed if you had told them that over the next four seasons, he would go on to average just 20.
