The Boston Celtics add a versatile forward to their bench, while the Oklahoma City Thunder get even more picks.

Kenrich Williams had a great season for the Oklahoma City Thunder last year. He was held out of trade talks at the deadline, but Sam Presti loves first-round picks, so anything is possible.

The 26-year-old forward is a solid all-around player that does a little bit of everything on the court. He can rebound, pass, and has improved his three-point shot in the last couple of years.

Last year, Williams averaged eight points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while shooting 53.3% from the field and 44.4% from deep. He was super efficient from everywhere on the court.

He is 6-6 and would slot in as a forward off the bench for the Boston Celtics. His shooting and playmaking would provide some extra versatility off the bench.

While his name might not be known by many Celtics fans, he plays his role super well. Williams would be able to come in and help lead the young bench.

He plays with great energy and is seemingly everywhere on the court at once on both ends of the floor. Fans would be quick to fall in love with his hustle and effort.

For the Thunder, they add two more picks to their massive stockpile. It’s a win-win for both teams.
