The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen Isaiah Hartenstein turn in two straight double-doubles to start his Bricktown tenure. The OKC Thunder can clearly maximize his skillset better than most after his game against the Kings.
The Oklahoma City Thunder went out and signed Isaiah Hartenstein this summer. His three-year deal worth $87 Million Dollars is not only the biggest contract the Thunder have ever handed out in that setting but immedately fixed the Thunder's biggest weakness.
Monday against the Sacramento Kings showed the Thunder are uniquely qualified to maximize the skillset of the big man. Playing off this drive and kick system, Hartenstein is the beneficiary of the gravity Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams have as drivers. The seven-footer is there as a safety net getting clean looks as a bail out option if the defense cuts off the Thunder stars drive.
“In terms of the craft of screening, yeah, he’s the best guy I’ve coached,” Mark Daigneault said of Isaiah Hartenstein's screening ability.
