Dennis Schroder is the key to a successful OKC Thunder second unit
While the OKC Thunder second unit has certainly struggled through various parts of the season, the benches success lies in the hands of Dennis Schroder.
Dennis Schroder‘s individual numbers have been absolutely sensational for the OKC Thunder. The German is averaging 15.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 28.7 minutes of action while reinventing his game to play off the ball more. While his shooting splits are not ideal (41.1 percent shooting from the field, 33.5 percent from three), its the first time OKC has possessed a sixth man who can score the rock since Kevin Martin.
However, his stats do not correlate with the success of the Thunder’s bench unit.
