4 Regrets Thunder should have about offseason decision-making

3. Not bringing on a true power forward

While this somewhat relates to the previously mentioned point on failing to bring in a third big-bodied presence, it's more geared toward a specific position in power forward.

Last season, the Thunder utilized Jalen Williams as their primary four despite boasting the game and build of a traditional three.

In such a role, he put forth a breakout campaign with impressive averages of 19.1 points, 4.5 assists, and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 54.0 percent from the floor and 42.7 percent from distance en route to a fourth-place finish in the Most Improved Player award race.

While he proved capable of thriving at the position, and the team along with him (won 57 games with said structure), at 6-foot-5, 211 pounds the best thing for his future both from a playing and, frankly, physical standpoint is likely to have him slide on up to small forward to man the position for years to come.

In an ideal situation, Oklahoma City would see a starting five with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at one, Alex Caruso or Lu Dort at two, J-Dub at three, and Holmgren at five.

All that's left in question is the four spot, which, though will likely be manned by either Hartenstein or even Chet himself this coming year, still doesn't have a proper and sure-fire talent filler.
