Later today Thunderous Intentions dives into how the NBA has shifted over the past decade. One specific component within that piece is the comeuppance of perimeter shooting. For the OKC Thunder if there was one Achilles heel over the entire history of the franchise it would arguably be 3-point shooting efficiency. Albeit shooting efficiency, in general, hasn’t been the club’s selling point.
For that reason, as superstars Russell Westbrook and Paul George along with rising talent Jerami Grant exit it’s ironic the Thunder may enter this season with the perhaps one of the better perimeter shooting squads in franchise history.
