Okongwu struggled with his perimeter shot but made up for his modest scoring output by leading Atlanta in assists.

• Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Scores 18 points in narrow victory

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Okongwu recorded 18 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason win over the Pacers. Okongwu delivered a productive offensive performance, making all six of his free-throw attempts while committing just one turnover. The center attempted seven three-pointers, and although he connected on only two, his tendency to stretch the floor has been noticeable in the preseason. That could add another wrinkle to his expanding offensive game. Okongwu, who averaged 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game across 74 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, will be one of the Hawks' go-to players on both ends of the floor once the regular season starts Oct. 21 at Orlando.

  Okongwu recorded 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 22 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs. Okongwu showed his versatility as a playmaking big man, leading Atlanta's starters with five assists while connecting on two three-pointers. His willingness to shoot from beyond the arc remains an intriguing element of his offensive development, and if this translates to the regular season, it could unlock a whole new level of upside for Okongwu, who's already an excellent finisher near the rim and an above-average rebounder.
