Okongwu Could Be Made Available. Trade Target?

[Who]

Maybe we shouldn't think of Okongwu as a starter but rather as a replacement for Horford in that 6th man role. Similar to his role in Atlanta. Okongwu is great in that role.

G: D White, Pritchard

F: Jaylen, Hauser
F: Tatum, Minott
C: Queta, Okongwu

He isn't terrible and not a terrible defender or rebounder.  What I don't like his FG efficiency which is poor, as he shoots 48 percent from FG this year.   Last year he shot 58% which is more of what you expect from a 6-10 guy.

The FG% is because between him and his coach he doubled the percentage of 3s he takes.  His shooting has not changed, he is just taking more difficult shots.  He is fine at them, but I think Atlanta has made a mistake having him out on the perimeter so much, because he is not elite at them.  His offensive rebounding has also unsurprisingly cratered this year.
