Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Hawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
With just three games remaining in the regular season, the Hawks are turning their eyes towards the postseason.
Postseason basketball is often more physical, slower-paced, and features a shortened rotation. Backup center Jock Landale has proven to be a big midseason pickup, providing
size and floor spacing that makes everyone else’s job easier.
But after a dirty takedown from Goga Bitadze of the Orlando Magic, an ankle injury will sideline him until at least the playoffs — and possibly longer.
Of course, Onyeka Okongwu can’t realistically play 48 minutes a game. That begs the question: which player would be the best candidate to play backup center for the rest of the season and into the games that matter most?
Please discuss your answers in the comments below.
