4 Regrets Thunder should have about offseason decision-making

2. Failure to add on any true secondary creators

The Thunder have several heavy-hitting offensive weapons within their arsenal in the likes of SGA, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren.

With them leading the charge, the team went on to rank third in the league in points per game and eighth in offensive rating.

However, these metrics were largely driven by their starting five and, more specifically, this studly trio, as OKC's bench unit was a middling scoring bunch that ranked 13 in points and was absolutely abysmal throughout the club's playoff run, especially during their semifinal matchup against the Dallas Mavericks where they placed third-worst in offensive rating and dead-last in long-range shooting.

Simply put, when the stars are being taken out of the equation from an offensive standpoint, the Thunder lack any real secondary difference-makers to help pick up the slack.

Could Aaron Wiggins or Cason Wallace find a way to get things going and up their stock as a stand-alone bucket-getter? Perhaps, but, at this point, their top-heavy scoring punch is far and away the driving force when it comes to the club's offensive approach.

When their main guys find their shots falling short, it has only proven to have a detrimental impact on the team's overall play on the more glamorous side of the ball (again, think their series against Dallas).
