Anthony Morrow

Okay, I know he’s only played one season for the Thunder, but you can’t deny the incredible effect the fan-named Chocolate Reign had on last season’s Russell Westbrook-led squad. In his first game in an OKC uniform, coming off an injury that forced him to miss the first month of the season, Morrow dropped a cool 27 points on the Boston Celtics and demonstrated what his long-range capabilities add to an cut-heavy offense.

With Westbrook and Kevin Durant driving to the hoop and causing the paint to collapse, defenders often make the mistake of leaving Anthony Morrow wide-open for three, and he made them pay.

Morrow added a new dimension of shooting that’s been missing throughout the Thunder’s entire tenure in Oklahoma City and that fact alone warrants his place in these rankings. With a fully healthy squad coming into this 2015-16 season, YungFresh should thrive even more so than last year and hopefully do his best to help lead OKC to their first ever NBA championship.
