Bench depth has been key for the OKC Thunder to this point, and will only become more important as the season goes along. The Thunder found the help they needed in two-way player Deonte Burton, and hope Donte Grantham can be the next man up in lieu Tyler Davis.
Although Davis saw some success in the G-League, averaging a double-double with 17.2 points and 11.5 rebounds, he never got much of a chance at the highest level. Instead, Sam Presti elected to go with a potentially more versatile option in Grantham, who should provide the same length with more offensive weapons.
