Kenrich Williams has been the perfect veteran for this young Thunder team, and can help lead them to the next step of contention.
Oklahoma City is notoriously known for being one of the youngest teams in the NBA. Over the last two season, it feels like that’s a talking point that has been brought up quite often. Whether it’s being used to talk about the Thunder’s promise, or reason to doubt the youthful team in the playoffs, age always seems to be a discussion surrounding this squad.
Williams was still an integral part to the Thunder’s success despite his inconsistent playing time. Over the last three seasons, he saw heavy minutes for the rebuilding Thunder and helped create the team’s culture and toughness. As the Thunder rose to the No. 1 seed though, he was focused on staying ready and helping where needed.
“He always keeps me in the loop about everything,” Williams said about his head coach. “He always tells me to stay ready. That's my job as a professional, especially playing in the NBA. You just have to be ready, no matter what. Your number could be called at any minute. It's my job and my responsibility to always stay ready.”
He can always step in and play, but will also set the tone in practice and in the locker room. Having a veteran like that moving forward would be a smart move.
