Clint Capela is in his fifth season as the starting center for your Atlanta Hawks. Despite the Hawks splashing the sixth overall pick way back in the 2020 draft on someone thought be his eventual successor, Onyeka Okongwu, Capela has since held him off in the years since and even started in all 25 of the Hawks’ games this season.
In those 25 games, Capela has averaged 10.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.0 blocks in 22.5 minutes per game, his fewest minutes per game since his second year in the league. Still, Capela’s defense remains a large reason why the team has bounced back in that area this season (alongside Dyson Daniels and others, of course).
