Oklahoma City Thunder

Alex Abrines, Semaj Christon, Domantas Sabonis

OKC is the Russell Westbrook show, so there hasn’t been much talk about too many of the other players on the team. Sabonis was the 11th pick in the draft and has played in every game for the Thunder this season.

Both Sabonis and Alex Abrines have been playing consistently and will likely remain with the team for the next season, unless the Thunder try to make some moves in the offseason. Christon has played quite a bit this season, but hasn’t had much of an impact.

Being a point guard on the same team as Westbrook is no small task and it doesn’t look like he’s bringing too much in the way of results right now.
