The OKC Thunder are the definition of a "next man up" ball club, as their depth is so elite that they're seamlessly able to plug-and-play at any position without skipping a beat. In the wake of Ajay Mitchell's recent hip injury sustained on Wednesday in a win over the Bucks, they may once again be forced to put this incredible ability of theirs to the test.
Fortunately, they already have the perfect replacement option waiting in their reserves.
Though many may consider Cason Wallace the obvious player coach Mark Daigneault should look to for increased usage should it be determined that Mitchell will need to miss extended time, the more appropriate beneficiary of his absence should be Aaron Wiggins.
