UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: HIGH MOTOR, TWO-WAY BIG

 

Onyeka Okongwu has incredibly high activity on the interior - great rebounding & shot-blocking volume, Okongwu impacts the game in multiple ways defensively; ideal fit w/ ATL’s other impressive athletes - Okongwu moves can get out and run, has some raw skill as a ball-handler in open space; powerful finisher, excellent roll option - incredible lob threat (dunks w/ a grudge v. the rim) who’s also able to convert short hooks & floaters in the lane; very soft touch, should aid development as a stretch big; racks up a ton of paint points by staying active as a screener, around the rim & on the glass; working on perimeter consistency & a more potent faceup attack - owned paint in college, didn’t shoot much beyond 15 ft. - a consistent outside J adds a deadly dynamic to his game; due for a step forward in 2025: ATL’s Undisputed X-Factor, Okongwu has upside on both ends of the floor
