Crawford is right for the Thunder's next move, they should play a playoff series, and get big men to inevitably fill out the core next year. Jarrett Allen would be a great 5 for them alongside Chet to battle the bigs in the West and provide rebounding and rim protection.

[@verward]

Yeah, this year they will get playoff experience, but I'm not expecting them to get out the second round and that's fine. I hope/assume that Chet will fill out that frame somewhat in a couple of years. He doesn't need to be 280lbs, but 240-250 would be nice. A back up big would be nice, but if Chet gets bulkier he will probably become a better rebounder and I don't think they need more size in the starting lineup in that case.

[@munefresh]

Yeah, and what do we get for Jarrett Allen? Of course, he'd be a good fit, he's an All-Star C that plays defense. They're virtually extinct.

A PG13 that's in the zone is one of the most talented players in the league right now, and I'd say one of the most talented players of all time. He's got everything: high percentage, high volume 3 PT shooter; midrange threat; nearly unstoppable with the drive; and tough shot maker (not to mention a pretty great FT shooter as well). He's the total package. The only problem is when he starts games poor and not aggressive (settling for 3s), he's not the same guy.

[@kungfukenny9300]

Completely Agree. Its a mental thing. If he shows up, he's basically unstoppable. And the smoothest player to watch. But he has had real lows and its painful to see. Though this season looks very promising. We just need a healthy Kawhi and PG in the playoffs.
