One of the Thunder's longest-tenured players should be impactful again next season.
The Thunder made history in 2023-24 with their 57-win season. Not only were they the youngest No. 1 seed in NBA history, they quickly became the youngest team to win a playoff series. While the team is still among the youngest in the league, one of its oldest players could make a significant difference next season.
Last season, Josh Giddey was the Thunder’s second-leading rebounder with 6.4 per game. With the Thunder trading him for Alex Caruso, who averaged 3.8 last season, Williams could have an opportunity to make up for that loss. At 6-foot-6, Williams also gives the Thunder a true small-ball option. Although he played sparingly at center last season with Chet Holmgren manning the middle, he has plenty of experience playing bigger than his size throughout his Thunder tenure.
