None of those players help the Thunder situation ? Obr 61 NxBCXs This guy shot 41 percent from 3 last year , and was the 21 st ranked SF in the league defensively by DRPM . That was a better mark than Hayward , Giannis , Iguodala and a lot of other very good players . You don ' t think the Thunder could use an SF that shoots 40 % and can defend adequately ? Every game the starters either get a lead or keep it close , then they sit and the bench gets drilled , and then Westbrook has to chase the game in the 4 th . Part of the reason for that is that Semaj runs the point for the bench unit , and hes not up to it . Darren Collison is a starting caliber point guard , and would again be one of the best bench pointguards in the league . Hes an efficient scorer 52 % on 2 s , 40 % on 3 s , and 85 % from the line last year , hes a good facilitator , he can run a pick and roll unlike anyone on the roster not named Westbrook , and aside from Westbrook and Wall he might be the quickest PG in the league . The fastbreak would be relentless for 48 minutes . Another reason the bench gives up so many points is because Adams is the only bigman on the roster that plays decent defense or protects the rim . When he sits we don ' t have rim protection . Koufos is ranked the 13 th equal C by DRPM right now . The guy hes ranked equal with is Hassan Whiteside . Hes also ahead of Drummond , Gasol , Hibbert etc . We could really use the defensive help . He also has career averages of 13 and 11 with 2 blocks per 36 , and his 50 % FG and 60 % FT aren ' t terrible . I ' m not even going to bother going into detail about how Rudy Gay could help this team because its pretty obvious , especially because hes currently playing better than ever . I ' d expect the Kings to say no to this trade before the Thunder did , i think its pretty ridiculous to say that none of these players would help the Thunder .
