With another center in the mix, how will the Arkansas product make an impact?
On Monday, the Thunder reached an agreement with free agent center Isaiah Hartenstein. By signing the former New York Knick to a three-year, $87 million contract, the Thunder seemingly solved their size and rebounding issues.
After earning the starting spot in his rookie season and moving to the primary backup when Holmgren returned from injury last season, Williams is in an uncertain position heading into his third NBA season. While Holmgren and Hartenstein will play the bulk of the minutes inside, Williams could still have a notable impact for the Thunder next season.
Alongside being injury insurance, Williams brings a different look than Hartenstein, which can still make him an effective option for certain matchups. Williams’ minutes will likely be determined by his ability to shoot. If he can maintain his career mark of 38.5% from 3-point range, he could occasionally get the nod over Hartenstein, who only attempted three shots from beyond the arc last season.
