HOW MANY TOP 100 NBA Players Do OKC Thunder Have?

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Oklahoma City Thunder boast a remarkable seven players in the Locked On Top 100 NBA rankings, igniting championship expectations for the season ahead. Can the Thunder’s depth and star power finally deliver a title to Oklahoma City fans? The conversation focused on Isaiah Hartenstein’s surprisingly low placement, Ajay Mitchell’s potential meteoric rise, and the incredible duo of Jalen Williams (J-Dub) and Chet Holmgren landing in the top 25.

A key theme that emerged was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s spot at No. 3—despite back-to-back MVPs, is SGA being underrated compared to Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic? The discussion explored OKC’s enviable roster depth, championship-or-bust mentality, and pressing questions about player health and usage, including Alex Caruso’s availability and Ajay Mitchell’s scoring ceiling. Don’t miss this breakdown of the Thunder’s pursuit of NBA glory and what their packed Top 100 presence means for the entire league.

Sam Presti PRAISES Cason Wallace | Reveals How This OKC Thunder Season Will be DIFFERENT

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 19:38:52 GMT

Oklahoma City Thunder signal a bold new era by trading Lu Dort—a move described as the ultimate gesture of respect toward rising star Cason Wallace. Is Wallace ready to step into Dort’s defensive anchor role, and how will this shift reshape the Thunder’s identity? Sam Presti’s rare transparency on long-term plans and praise for Wallace, along with excitement around rookies Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell, hints at a reimagined rotation and heightened internal competition.

The discussion explores the critical 10,000-minute gap left by outgoing veterans and spotlights ownership’s looming decision: Will they “pay the piper” to keep this ascending Thunder core together, especially with the NBA’s second apron penalties in sight? Insights into the evolving 3-2-1 draft lottery system, health updates on Jalen Williams (J-Dub), and Chet Holmgren's development set the stage for a season where every win—and roster move—could define Oklahoma City’s championship journey.
