NBA: One x-factor for every team heading into the restart

Oklahoma City Thunder

X-factor: Andre Roberson 

Objectively, the Oklahoma City Thunder could be one of the team’s best set up to find success in the Orlando bubble. For one, they are a deep team. Secondly, this is a team that isn’t reliant too much on any one player. They absolutely have standouts, and are led by the veteran leadership of Chris Paul, but are a more team-oriented offensive team than most (with five players averaging double-figures, and none averaging more than 19 points per game).

The addition of Andre Roberson could give this team added depth on the wing. Roberson hasn’t played an NBA game since 2018, after rupturing his patellar tendon in his left knee, but could provide a much-needed spark in the bubble.

He is currently working out with the team, but it hasn’t been decided either way if he’s going to return or not. If he does, he could help make the Thunder that much more dangerous when the season resumes.
