One thing that Paul will be aiming for inside the Orlando Bubble is to take his team to a deep postseason run. Oklahoma have had a good regular season in spite of losing their star man Russell Westbrook last summer. Prior to the league’s suspension, they were fifth in a tight Western Conference with 40 wins in 64 games.
Continuing to lead the team even at the age of 35, Paul is showing why he is the ‘point god’. Paul moved to the Thunder last summer as a part of the trade deal that saw Westbrook move to Houston Rockets. In 63 appearances this season, Paul has averaged 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.8 assists. As the season is set for a restart, it will be interesting to see how far the Thunder will go.
