So, the other night, I found myself needing to check up on Onyeka Okongwu’s game log again. It’s become a bit of a ritual, especially with my fantasy basketball season going down the drain.

Fired up the old laptop, you know, the usual routine. Had to see what was going on with him. Was he getting minutes? Was he actually doing something with them? Because let me tell you, drafting him felt like a smart move at the time, but consistency hasn’t exactly been his middle name this season, at least not for my fantasy team.
Digging into the Numbers
So I pulled up the stats. I scrolled through the recent games, looking specifically at a few things:
- Minutes Played: This is the big one. Hard to produce if you’re sitting on the bench, right?
- Points & Rebounds: The bread and butter stats I desperately needed.
- Blocks: Always hoping for those defensive numbers, they can really swing a matchup.
And yeah, it was kind of what I expected. Some games looked decent, showing that potential everyone talks about. Good energy, hitting the boards, maybe a couple of blocks. But then, you’d see other games where the minutes dipped, or he just seemed invisible out there. It’s frustrating, you know? You see the flashes, the athleticism, and you think, “This guy could be a monster,” but the game log tells a story of ups and downs.
My Takeaway
Looking at that log, it just reinforces my feeling about the Hawks sometimes. Is it the rotations? Is it just him still developing? I don’t know, I’m just a guy staring at stats on a screen. But when you’re banking on a player for your fantasy hopes, you really feel those inconsistent lines in the game log. It makes you wonder if you should’ve gone a different direction in the draft.
Anyway, that was my little dive into the Onyeka Okongwu game log. Didn’t exactly make me feel better about my fantasy team, but hey, at least I know what’s what. Or sort of. Back to hoping he strings together a few good games, I guess.
