Not only has Isaiah Hartenstein stuck the landing, but he landed on a first-class seat. Since his return from a fractured hand, Hartenstein has been a saving grace for the Thunder. Four games, four double-doubles and four wins.

In a recent interview, Isaiah Hartenstein commended Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams for helping him integrate into the team.

Mark Daigneault multiplies the time whenever he’s asked a variation of the same question. How has Isaiah Hartenstein integrated himself so well with an established OKC Thunder team?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander already sees the benefits of Hartenstein. The seven-footer opens a sea of space for last year's MVP runner-up to play with. It's a dangerous threat opposing defenses must figure out or risk leaving him wide open.

Hartenstein knew OKC was the right team for him when the team's decision-makers traveled to "some random hotel" in Eugene, Oregon.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen Isaiah Hartenstein come in and make a massive impact on the court and clearly off of it. His basketball mind is an extension of the coach on the floor with superb organizational skills.
