Upon his release, few Thunder fans mourned the loss of Alex Abrines, due to his perceived limited skillset. However, since his departure last month, the Thunder have gotten worse, and there is no doubting that Billy Donovan's team misses Abrines' ability to knock down open three's from the wing.

Paul George is now the team's only threat from beyond the arc, but the addition of Nick Young could change this.

Over his career, Young has averaged 38% from three-point range, and his ability to hit three's landed him a spot on the Warriors 2018 Championship winning roster. While his subsequent spell with the Denver Nuggets didn't work out, Young is unquestionably the sniper that the Thunder are currently crying out for.

His recent experience of winning a ring with Golden State is also a bonus, and there is no doubting that the veteran can make a major impact from the OKC bench.
