26. Houston Rockets
At times this season, the Houston Rockets have been one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the league. And then it quickly becomes apparent that they are still one of the most inexperienced and young teams in the league.
The Rockets still have a ways to go in becoming a playoff threat in the Western Conference but they continue to take steps in the right direction.
25. Oklahoma City Thunder
I think the important thing for the Oklahoma City Thunder this season is that they have shown signs of growth. Heading into this season, that was the most important goal for this franchise. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has continued to look like the star that the Thunder needs him to be and has done nothing but verbalize his faith in the organization (which is great news).
Next season will be extremely important for the Thunder and their progression.
