Capela is coming off his seventh consecutive season averaging a double-double, but he saw a slight downtick in production last year. The 30-year-old appeared in 73 regular-season games last season, during which he averaged 11.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 assists across 25.8 minutes per game. Capela also shot an efficient 57.1 percent from the field on 8.5 attempts per game. The 10-year veteran is an elite shot-blocker, averaging 1.6 blocks per game throughout his career. The big man has played over 60 games in each of the last four seasons and has been a solid contributor in the Hawks' starting five. However, Capela does have competition at the center position. Onyeka Okongwu is only 24 years old and has seen solid progression in each season of his career. Moreover, the Hawks acquired more depth with Larry Nance and Cody Zeller coming over in the Dejounte Murray trade, making the competition for minutes at center a bit more complex. The club is in the early stages of a rebuild, and Capela has one year remaining on his contract, which could mean he gets traded this season. The center finished outside of the top 80 in standard fantasy formats last year, and even if he gets traded, he will likely still serve as a viable fantasy option due to his shot-blocking and offensive efficiency. For now, Capela will likely slot in as the Hawks' starting center, and he has the potential to produce a double-double on a nightly basis.
