The Thunder’s new big man will help more than just the rebounding numbers next season.
Oklahoma City made one of the biggest moves of the offseason on Monday morning, signing perhaps the best big man available.is headed to the Thunder on a short term mega-deal and will bring toughness and rebounding to a small-ball squad. Hartenstein was rumored to have interest in the Thunder throughout the summer, but had a home in New York that he truly loved.
Hartenstein is a fantastic screener and will bring a whole new dimension to the team’s pick-and-roll game. Chet Holmgren is solid in that realm, too, but prefers to pick-and-pop towards the 3-point line. Hartenstein will take the defense to the rim with his strong rolls, which will allow players liketo coast in the lane. If the defense overcommits on Hartenstein’s hard roll’s too; Oklahoma City’s elite guards will be able to rise and fire for a midrange jumper.
