Thunder Star Will Need To Use Recent Ranking As Motivation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s dominance lessened the hype for his game? The list of the top 100 players in the league has officially wrapped up, as the top 10 were released on Thursday. The last of the list had been highly anticipated, as Gilgeous-Alexander was bound to be near the top, but his position on the list was interesting. Gilgeous-Alexander was ranked as the third-best player in the NBA entering this season, which is ultimately a little disrespectful. The two players in front of him, N
Two Thunder Stars Rank Lower Than Expected In NBA Player Ranking (opens the original)

Did a disappointing season make the Thunder players seem less dominant? The NBA’s player ranking has continued, this time revealing players ranked numbers 50-11. The Thunder are fortunate enough to have two players in this ranking, but where they fall doesn’t seem quite right. Now, it makes sense that Williams would slide down the list a bit due to injuries this past season, but sliding from No. 11 last year to No. 25 seems to be overkill. There is no reason to believe that a fully healthy Willi
The Thunder's MVP Doesn't Need To Earn The Scoring Title (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander might not need to bring home the scoring title this season. The Thunder superstar is known as one of the best scorers in the league and has proved it time and time again. Last season, he led the team by averaging 31.3 points per game, which also ranked second in the entire NBA. The OKC guard won the scoring title during the 2024-25 season and could be in a position to do it again, but he doesn’t necessarily have to. A recent article on Bleacher Report predicted the top 10
Which Thunder Player Has The Highest Ceiling This Year? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who has the potential to be the best on the Thunder’s roster? Oklahoma City has yet another loaded roster going into next season and has the ability to see multiple players show out over the course of the year. The roster shakeup this offseason has allowed for this even more and will let certain players have more playing time, letting them develop more quickly. The Thunder’s stars will still shine bright over the course of the year, but will other players make that leap to be considered a star o
Second Half Struggles Derail OKC Thunder In Loss To Mavericks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was another rough Summer League game for the OKC squad. The Oklahoma City Thunder remain winless this summer, losing to the Dallas Mavericks 97-87. The Thunder didn’t showcase any of their draft picks, as Aday Mara, Bennett Stirtz and Otega Oweh all didn’t hit the court. This would hinder OKC greatly and lead to another Oklahoma City loss. There would still be solid performances throughout the game, but in the end, it would be another failed team effort from the Thunder. Here are three takeaw
