Chet Holmgren struggled on the offensive end, but in an ideal world, Ajay Mitchell can help prevent him from having to change up his game too much. And even if Jalen Williams were healthy, they still probably would have needed a lot more from Holmgren on offense. If Mitchell can turn into a legitimate third-scoring option, then Holmgren would really be able to focus all of his energy on defense. Ajay Mitchell's growth can help Chet Holmgren focus on defenseDuring the Western Conference finals, the Thunder (and SGA, in particular) were put into a brutal spot. Williams is always going to help in the scoring column, but that still puts the Thunder in need of a consistent, go-to third option.
