With good roster flexibility, Oklahoma City has the potential to make a move for an established veteran player over the offseason.
In the Western Conference Semifinals, some of Oklahoma City's roster weaknesses were exploited as the Thunder were defeated in six games by the Dallas Mavericks.
While the team is young and will become more experienced and consistent over time, finding a big man who fits Daigneault's offensive scheme is a much more difficult task. For the Thunder's offense to operate at full strength, all five players need to be good shooters, passers and decent ball handlers.
If Sam Presti and company are looking to add a player who can address some of these issues over the summer, Toronto Raptors forward Kelly Olynyk could be what the team's front office is looking for.In 2023-24, Olynyk averaged 9.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game while shooting 55.5% from the field and 38.7% from 3-point range. With good passing acumen for a big man and a decent permeter shot, Olynyk has the skill set to be a solid contributor in OKC's system.
