2 – J.J. Hickson:

J.J. Hickson is certainly a far cry from the player he was just three years ago, but the 28 year old is looking for a new home and Oklahoma City may be the perfect destination.

Hickson had a pretty big drop off between his years in Portland to last year in Washington. Back in 2013, Hickson was averaging just under 13 points per game, but last year in Washington, Hickson was averaging just under 5 points per game.

Hickson being only 28 years old, could re-kindle some of that magic in OKC. Coming off the bench as a forward or even center could really benefit the Thunder if Hickson returns to his old-self.
