Thunder bench players elite enough to literally start on top-seeded counterpart

Even before the pre-deadline trade that sent Jared McCain out to the Sooner State, the OKC Thunder were widely regarded as having the most elite-level depth chart in the association today.

From off-ball sharpshooters and isolation creators to nitty-gritty defensive gurus, Oklahoma City's roster is simply jam-packed with tremendous talents.

So much so, in fact, that Chandler Parsons believes many of the club's mere role players are good enough to start on the top-seed in the East, the Detroit Pistons.

During a recent edition of FanDuel's Run it Back, the former NBA veteran turned analyst was seen gushing over the Thunder's depth post-McCain trade, saying "the ninth, tenth, eleventh guy on their team" could legitimately start for other clubs.
