3 reasons the Oklahoma City Thunder should trade Andre Roberson this summer

#3 Emerging Youngsters

Sacramento Kings v Oklahoma City Thunder

When Roberson went down injured at the beginning of 2018, the Thunder faced a major issue in replacing him. Corey Brewer eventually filled in for Roberson during the final 17 games and subsequent playoff series against the Utah Jazz, although after Brewer left in the summer, the Thunder were once again left searching for a new wide man.

This time Roberson's replacement came from within, in the form of second-year player, Terrance Ferguson. The 20-year-old averaged just 12.8 minutes per game as a rookie, although Ferguson has started 58 times this season, averaging 6.8 points per game.

Rookie, Hamidou Diallo has also impressed during his 11.2 minutes per contest this season, and there is no doubting that Roberson will have a fight on his hands to regain his place in Donovan's starting lineup.

Ultimately, the Thunder may benefit from going all in with their young duo, as if given the opportunity to play and develop, both Ferguson and Diallo have the potential to become excellent two-way players.
