Ranking Thunder 'who might be gone' by likelihood of departure

2. Bismack Biyombo

Throughout the season, one of the main areas of concern for this Thunder team related to their size, or, rather, the lack thereof within their frontcourt rotation.

Though rookie phenom Chet Holmgren stands at a menacing 7-foot-1, considering the fact that he weighs just 207 pounds soaking wet and their second-biggest player boasting any semblance of experience at the pro level coming into the season was Jaylin Williams, it was evident that Sam Presti and company needed to make some sort of move to address their lacking build up in the frontcourt.

Their solution for such a predicament: Sign veteran big Bismack Biyombo.

While he may only boast a 6-foot-8 frame, his stellar 7-foot-6 wingspan and muscular build at 255 pounds certainly served as an upgrade in the physique department, while his 13 years of experience and several deep playoff runs throughout his career were also seen as positive additives to this talented yet very green Thunder team.

Of course, despite all these on-paper upsides, in actuality Biyombo merely served as a roster filler and sideline sitter who saw minimal in-game action and, when he did log minutes, proved to be far from a difference-maker for this team.

In 10 appearances, the 31-year-old posted highly forgettable averages of 1.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 7.3 minutes a night and saw zero minutes of action during their two-round playoff excursion.

Now, while there's perhaps an ever-so-slight possibility that OKC could bring the big back on a veteran minimum deal for next season to help provide veteran leadership to this youth-filled roster, the odds of this happening are likely to be astronomically low.
