26. Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder are a team that is still in transition but they do have a budding star in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. After that, nothing is a certain for the team. And that has been a problem over the last few years in their overall build.
Even though the loss of Chet Holmgren will hurt this season, and in more ways than one, not all is lost for the Thunder heading into this year. Josh Giddey and Aleksej Pokuševski are two players specifically to keep an eye on this season.
If each of those players can individually make strides, and take some pressure off of SGA in the process, the Thunder will have an opportunity to move out of the basement of the Western Conference.
