Hawks Draft Onyeka Okongwu At Six Overall
4 years agoWith the sixth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks have selected USC big Onyeka Okongwu. It was revealed on Wednesday that Okongwu had a fractured toe, which led to concerns he would slide down in the draft, but the Hawks are betting on his talent. A physical center who can defend multiple positions, the only real concern long term is his shooting ability. Even if that never develops, he should stick in the league as a modern five. As for the toe injury, Okongwu should be ready for the start of the season, though it could slow down his transition to the league, keeping him off fantasy radars at least at the beginning of the year.
