The Thunder successfully inspires the Lakers? The second round pick should not be easily lost, and the transformation of the three players is by no means accidental

In the second game of the finals, the Thunder did not make any mistakes again. In fact, the gap in strength between the two teams is very obvious. When the Thunder eliminates distracting thoughts and stabilizes the situation of the game, it is natural to win. The Thunder's current lineup is strong. In addition to the core Alexander, his teammates are also very powerful, which gives the Thunder more fault tolerance.

Take this game for example. Although Alexander scored 34 points and 8 assists, his teammates were all soldiers, and four players scored double digits. If you observe the Thunder lineup, you can find that there are not many rookies at high rankings, but the management has strong operating capabilities and creates a very deep lineup.

In fact, the Thunder are now successful, which can inspire traditional strong teams such as the Lakers, especially the second round picks should not be easily lost, and the transformation of the three players is by no means accidental. This Thunder's substitute also gave the team a lot of support, such as Aaron Wiggins, who was a player from the No. 55 show in the second round, was regarded by almost all teams, but the Thunder who chose him became an exception. Since entering the league, Aaron Wiggins has made steady progress every year and has averaged 12 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season, which is an important firepower point for the Thunder's bench. His performance in the playoffs was average, with his data and efficiency declined significantly, but in this game, Aaron Wiggins scored 18 points and 4 rebounds, and even the plus-24 plus-negative value ranked first.

The Thunder is another substitute Isaiah Joe. Although there is no performance in this game, Isaiah Joe still has a lot of help to the Thunder for most of this season. In fact, as a mid-middle rookie in the second round in 2020, he was just sitting on the bench during the 76ers' play, but the Thunder beat Isaiah Joe at the bottom. He had outstanding shooting ability and could effectively open up the opening space. It not only allowed teammates around him to play very easily, but also caused a deterrence to his opponents, because if you let Isaiah Joe go short, you may have to pay a heavy price.

As for Jerryn Williams, he may not enter the rotation when the Thunder's lineup is in a good condition, but this season the Thunder suffered injuries in the interior. Jerryn Williams stood up several times, and his three-point shooting percentage even reached nearly 40%. Others like Isaiah Haltenstein and Alex Caruso were also from the second round and even lost the draft, but after all, they had already made a name for themselves before joining the Thunder, which was not trained by the Thunder. But combined with the Lakers' management, even many first-round or even lottery shows are not patient to train, and the second-round pick is simply given away for free. This kind of operation is really a waste of resources.
