Three players OKC Thunder should target to add value and fill out roster

Does the former OKC guard make his return?

The former Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard is had a down year with the Jazz where he averaged career lows across the board. Thabo Sefolosha is coming off of multiple injuries and hasn’t played at least 75 games in a season since 2015-2016 with the Hawks.

Now, on the wrong side of 35 years old, Sefolosha’s career might be coming to an end soon. However, that doesn’t mean he cannot be a productive player in the limited minutes he plays next season.

This season, Sefolosha shot .436 percent from beyond the arc (34-78 for the year) and 2.5 steals per 36 for the Utah Jazz.

The 35 year-old ranked 57th in RAPM (Regularized Adjusted Plus-Minus) and was a positive both on the offensive end and defensive end. Keep in mind that this is based on a relatively small sample size as the Swiss forward only logged 609 minutes last season.

Sefolosha provides perimeter shooting as well as good defense in limited minutes and would be a valuable piece for the Thunder as a veteran presence.

Thabo might want to play for a contender next season and compete for a championship (Sixers, Lakers, Rockets) but he would be a nice get for this Thunder team to help round out the roster.
