He’s so important to the Thunder that I wouldn’t consider any game that they play “fully healthy” unless he’s in the lineup.

He’s extremely valuable to them offensively to relieve the pressure from SGA, and he’s also very good defensively.

That closing lineup with Shai, McCain, Joe, Ajay and Jwill told me everything I know that Mark finally has a closing lineup to hit a 3 if needed. We’ve been atrocious at putting that scenario together and it made me happy to see that the spacing worked out.

We just need him to stay on the floor

We’ve missed him so much in our losses this year. He’s such a key player on both sides of the ball

Ngl where he come from

Dude, I was screaming from the rooftops last offseason that his agent needed to be fucking fired for negotiating a 3 year 9 million dollar contract.

Dude was excellent LAST year (just missed a lot of time due to injury).

UCSB LEGEND

9 mil for 3 years

let me repeat that

9 MILLION FOR 3 YEARS

Someone needs to trade for him like houston did for harden

We?

Jaylin almost ruined his great night with that foul lol. Without that foul SGA wouldn’t have to go super saiyan with 2 stepback game winner 3s.

Can’t believe OKC got a player they can play in clutch minutes lmao.

Having jwill ajay and Jared for the next two years after this one for basically 1m more then the non taxpayer mle is fucking insane

What if I told you they make $10 mil/yr combined for the next three years

Dude Hardaway Jr. was unconscious from 3!! It felt like he wouldn’t miss

RFK, is that you?

You could’ve had him. I was 100% convinced you’d take him instead of Nunez to pair him with his former teammate Wemby.

He averages 10 points on 50/33/100 in 27 minutes against the Spurs. What on Earth are you talking about?

Ajay is a different level of important. There’s an open question about Joe and Wiggins in the playoff rotation. There’s no similar question about Ajay. He’s playing every non-SGA minute. Having two of the three of SGA, Ajay, and JDub on the floor for 48 is cheating.

Love Wiggins but at this rate he’s gonna be in street clothes lmao

Wiggins hasn’t been great this year, so you won’t see him much in the playoffs if everyone is healthy. Joe will get lots of burn with different lineups, but he’s not a creator so it doesn’t matter with whom. McCain was awesome tonight, but Ajay will almost certainly absorb a lot of his minutes if JDub is back. 

Wiggs is cooked right now

For every 1 highlight you see, there’s like 5 low lights of dumb ass line-ups you don’t. But in the end it’s worth it 🤣

Wiggins and Dort if he shoots like crap and risk a reputation where refs call flagrant from him.

Ajay is their 2nd best offensive player if we’re being honest. He’s playing big minutes in the playoffs.

I think he is a Brunson in the making. Once he leave okc he will be a star, but I hope he never leave 

We don’t, but we know they made 3 trades on draft night to get to the spot to take him (Lindy Waters in exchange for pick 52, then pick 52 + cash for a pick in the 40s, then that pick + cash for pick 38). So they clearly targeted him hard.

He went to UC Santa Barbara and played against the mighty UC Riverside highlanders and Hawaii Rainbows. I’m sure a lot of coaches just didn’t prioritize scouting a “small” school like that
