Since he's gotten to OKC every year, it's taken a step forward, none bigger than this year.
It's the stuff like the two-man game with Isaiah Hartenstein, where those guys are on just a different wavelength.
If you can toss the ball to Ihart at the top of the key, then cut back door and get to the rim downhill, and he can come off those DHOs and then see someone flying at him at the three-point line.
and drive into the rim.
So he's just more comfortable at all three levels right now than he has been in the past.
And I think that his relocation around the perimeter, which I know is tied into his shooting, but that's helped him also take a step forward as a three-point shooter.
So his offensive game has been really impressive.
But then defensively, he's also a way more competitive defender.
And whenever you put him on this Thunder team,
With so many elite defenders who can fight over screens and allow you to not fall into these mismatches, he's able to, if he does come up to the ball, he can compete and at least hold up a primary ball handler with enough time until a Kaysen or Caruso or a Dort can switch back onto that guy.
And that's been a key that I think could keep him on the floor in the postseason.
Yeah, he gets at least one or two posters a year.
I think that the first thought is that he just has to continue to improve as a guy who can knock down these give me shots.
And like last year, he wasn't particularly great in the corners and wasn't great off the catch as what you would expect him to be.
This year, he's gotten better at those areas.
If he takes another step, you know, in terms of a catch and shoot shooter and a guy who is knocking down high percentage of high quality looks, then you really see him at the very least becoming a great three in the offensive weapon.
But in this recent stretch, we've all been really interested in his point guard background and,
He has done better on the ball.
And I think what's helped him is, is really getting back to the basics.
Like now you're seeing him just break down a defense and get to the rim.
