Option 2: Reggie Jackson

Jackson has proved to be a really good player in his time with the Thunder thus far. After averaging 4.2 points per game in his first two seasons, Jackson exploded on the scene last year, dropping 13.1 points per game.

He saw his role expand after he took over for an injured Russell Westbrook in the 2013 playoffs. Jakson averaged 13.9 points per game in those playoffs.

The Thunder trust Jackson and he has proven to be a nice backcourt mate to Westbrook. The two played 395 minutes together, and were 17.8 points better than their opponents per 100 possessions, according to NBA.com.

The Thunder already know what they are getting with Jackson and he may be the safest bet of the options, but the Thunder love to have a player coming off the bench who can lead a second unit and make a spark. Jackson was that guy last year and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is again for the 2014-15 season.
