Oklahoma City Thunder

Last season the Oklahoma City Thunder used a barebones roster that had very little NBA experience, especially after Al Horford was sent home and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was shut down.

Eventually, the Thunder are going to have to start adding veterans to build up the roster and Kelly Oubre Jr. would be a good player to start with.

Oubre Jr. will turn 26-years old during the 2021-22 season, so he still fits the timeline of a rebuilding team. Oklahoma City has nothing on the wing when it comes to depth, as there are zero players listed as small forwards currently on the roster.

Oubre Jr. would give the Thunder some much-needed scoring punch, as they were last in the NBA in Offensive Rating this past season. Gilgeous-Alexander and Kemba Walker, if he ever suits up for OKC, are the only players on the roster that can create their own offense.

Sam Presti and company are armed with plenty of draft picks and salary cap, so the roster will look a lot different this upcoming season. Oubre Jr. would be a good piece for that roster facelift.
