OKC Thunder step-up player No. 1) Kenrich Williams
Kenrich Williams is the OKC Thunder version of the swiss army knife. He has multiple talents that can be used whenever he comes onto the court. He is always ready to come onto the court and do what is needed and he does that through energy.
This is what Williams brings to the floor every time that he sets foot on the court. He is not the biggest player, standing at only 6’6″ but his energy allows him to play taller. He is also able to handle the defensive duties of a smaller player.
Pokusevski’s main skill that he has bought to the Thunder is his rebounding ability. Being 7’0″ and long, he is able to snag rebounds without being in a good position. Williams is able to use his energy to get to the right places and collect rebounds on both ends of the court.
Williams also showed in the game against the Houston Rockets that when he gets a decent amount of court time he has the ability to score in multiple ways. If he can bring that when Pokusevski is in the G-League bubble then the Thunder are going to be better off as Pokusevski has struggled to score.
