Tomas Satoransky
It’s possible that German guard, Tomas Satoransky, is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. He boasts a stealthily complete offensive game, with everything from an improved three-point stroke to surprising chops in the pick-and-roll to even some creativity off the dribble. And because of his diverse skillset, he’s a perfect fit for the OKC Thunder.
The Thunder have been missing a versatile young guy like Satoransky for years and he could significantly improve key areas for the team. Whereas the Thunder were one of the most inefficient three-point shooting teams in the league last year, Satoranksy shot 46% on 1.4 attempts per game. And while he’s likely not one of the best shooters in the league, the spacing he provides could be valuable on a team starved for it.
Furthermore, he could easily function as a secondary or even tertiary playmaker with Russell Westbrook and Paul George next year. Throughout his time in the NBA, he’s been a fantastic playmaker, averaging 6.3 assists per 36 minutes despite sharing the floor with ball-dominant players like John Wall and Bradley Beal.
Sato wouldn’t completely erase the Thunder’s problems but his work to help improve their flaws would go a long way.
