4 Offensive-minded players Thunder could still pursue to solidify rotation

Cameron Johnson

The Brooklyn Nets are clearly gunning for a full fledged rebuild following their trade that sent Mikal Bridges out to their cross-borough rival in the Knicks, and teams in such positions generally prioritize one major asset: Draft capital.

The Thunder, as we all know, currently have too many picks for them to use all on their own and could certainly spare a few in exchange for a player who could help aid in their efforts of winning now.

Cameron Johnson is a player who's more than worth OKC coughing up a couple of first-rounders for, and, frankly, it's rather difficult to argue against such a notion.

Entering his sixth season in the association, the former lottery pick may not be the franchise-altering brand of player many projected him to be coming out of North Carolina, but he's proven to be a tremendous rotation piece who can play some lock-down defense thanks to his high IQ, athleticism, and 6-foot-10 wingspan, and can knock down shots at a consistent rate.

Last season was yet another efficient one for the 28-year-old, as he posted averages of 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists on 39.1 percent shooting from distance while hoisting up a career-high 6.1 attempts per night.

Plugging him in at the four next to Chet Holmgren and allowing Jalen Williams to slide on up to small forward, or having him serve as a backup tweener forward could only end up helping this Thunder team, especially in the long-range shooting department where, though they ranked number one last year in conversion rate, placed in at a middling 16 in attempts.
