EDGE Analysis

Okongwu has received a few starts during preseason action, and even though he looked quite good in this one, all signs point to him playing off the bench while Clint Capela operates with the first unit. Okongwu is still valuable in fantasy this year as a handcuff option and could be quite an asset in dynasty formats. He averaged 9.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 blocks across 23.1 minutes per game last season.
