The Case for Isaiah Joe playing more minutes for the Oklahoma City Thunder

Last night against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Thunder pulled off a stunning win. Without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey, Oklahoma City were able to waltz to an easy victory behind good performances from Luguentz Dort and Isaiah Joe. Joe drained five threes on the night and his case for minutes was crystallised within his 27 minutes on the court.

Isaiah has played sparingly this season but when he has touched the hardwood, he has knocked down shots from deep at an efficient clip, 45.8% on 3.6 3PA per game. The Thunder are 20th in 3-point efficiency and badly need long-range bombers who can make the most of opportunities from deep.
