Kenrich Williams came to the Thunder in a somewhat inauspicious manner. He was a toss-in in the Steven Adams trade; he was dealt by New Orleans simply to make the salaries match. It was widely expected that Williams would be dealt or waived by the Thunder.
Kenrich is an intense individual who leads by example; he is the first to sacrifice his own game for the benefit of the team. It is one of the reasons why he was so useful and successful last season. Williams brought leadership and communication every single time that he stepped onto the court.
