In the OKC Thunder’s preseason opener, Billy Donovan increased his usage of the pick and roll in their first game without Kevin Durant.

Never mind the score. We probably won’t see a Ronnie Price-Alex Abrines-Kyle Singler-Josh Huestis-Enes Kanter ever again. Or at least I hope so.

The first quarter was spectacular (when the starting lineup played); pick and rolls dominated the offense. And you know what? That’s a good thing.

Oklahoma City’s strength is their big men. They have the ability to constantly roll out fresh quality bodies; not many NBA teams can boast that. With athletes and shooters on the wings, the OKC Thunder have so many juicy combos it’s hard to rank only five.
