Did Ousmane Dieng actually get taller? Also what is his ceiling? A starter? 6Man and backup ball handler?
What 2nd or 3rd year player do you see taking a leap this coming season?
Do we keep Poku around? If so, how will the minutes be split among Chet, JWill, Dieng, Poku (and JDub)?
If Leonard Miller only projects as a John Collins/Christian Wood type of big (with maybe a little more feel, IQ and motor), is that really a bad thing in the OKC system?
Each person pick for these 2 scenarios
1. trade up target and trade proposal 2. staying at 12 selection
JWill prediction for next season
Not quite draft related, but kind of.
There’s a lot of talk about the new CBA and how it will impact the Thunder. Could you breakdown what’s changing, and how it might impact us positively or negatively?
And then could you speak to more of a projected idea, considering the salaries we see currently in the NBA and optimistic expectations for what looks to be our core going forward (SGA, Giddey, JDub, Chet, and Dort)? For example, the Suns now have Booker + KD + Beal ($36M + $47M + $47M, not even including Ayton + $33M) on $130M and that will go up to $161M in ’25-’26. It’s hard to believe we’re going to run into an issue that big, even if I am high on all 5 of our guys.
What will the 15 man roster and what will our rotations be?
