Who are the best fits for the OKC Thunder in the 2023 NBA Draft? Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

The Oklahoma City Thunder are in a good position for the upcoming 2023 NBA Draft. While they might not land a Victor Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson, the OKC Thunder have anything else in front of them, with Brandon Miller, Cam Whitmore, the Thompson Twins Amen Thompson, and Ausar Thompson offering the most upside. But which NBA Draft prospect fits what the Thunder are trying to build? We zero in on Gradey Dick, Jarace Walker, and Taylor Hendricks. Plus, Isaiah Wong is an elite second-round target for the highest upside in that range in the draft. What should be Sam Presti's plan for the Bricktown boys in the upcoming NBA Draft? Can Oklahoma City trade up in the draft this season?

Show notes

The Oklahoma City Thunder fell to the Suns as part of a schedule loss on the second night of a back-to-back for the OKC Thunder. The Thunder did not have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Jalen Williams in this game. Oklahoma City fans are upset with Lu Dort's role, but Dort is going to find his role as the team gets healthier. How did the Suns defend Josh Giddey? Jeremiah Robinson-Earl looks comfortable. Can Tre Mann build on this game? What is the plan with Jared Butler for OKC? Can the Bricktown boys rebound this weekend?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returns, the OKC Thunder core was ELITE, The Thunder earn two massive wins over the Jazz Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

The Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Utah Jazz over the weekend. On Sunday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returned to the floor for the OKC Thunder, and the young Thunder core DOMINATED. SGA had a change to his rotation and still looked GREAT, Josh Giddey closes the game strong for OKC, and Jalen Williams dominates in yet another new role-playing some CENTER in this game. Dario Saric is carving out a role for the Bricktown boys. Ousmane Dieng looked much more aggressive to tie together the 2022 NBA Draft, and a telling pair of DNP-CDs for Mark Daigneault in this contest against the Jazz. Rylan Stiles breaks it all down.

The Oklahoma City Thunder ARE NOT TANKING, Despite the National Narrative Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

The Oklahoma City Thunder are NOT tanking, despite what the National Media crutches to when discussing the OKC Thunder. Why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's injury, Kenrich Williams's wrist injury, and Ousmane Dieng's call-up have no impact on the level of try Mark Daigneault and his Thunder squad will give? Where will the Thunder fall in the standings? How big are these games against the Utah Jazz? Jalen Williams is worth of player of the week, and what is Dario Saric's longterm fit in Bricktown? Plus, we break down the latest addition, Jared Butler. Rylan Stiles has you covered.

Show notes

Isaiah Joe is legit, the 2022 NBA Draft class is legit, and the OKC Thunder fanbase should wait for their steak not fill up on candy Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

The Oklahoma City Thunder fell to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, and Isaiah Joe proves to be a legit weapon for the OKC Thunder long term. Jaylin Williams and Jalen Williams have already made the 2022 NBA Draft class a huge success for the Thunder. Plus, OKC is still having a great season despite their first losing streak since DECEMBER. Fans in Bricktown should wait for their steak. Plus, Lu Dort is going to be in a better offensive role, I promise.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is OUT, Isaiah Joe drops a career high, Jaylin Williams is unlocking the offense, what OKC needs moving forward Feb 26, 2023

Show notes

The Oklahoma City Thunder are without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as he deals with an injury, how will the OKC Thunder move on without their star point guard SGA? The Thunder saw Isaiah Joe catch fire and drop a career-high against the Suns. Has he stamped his name on the future of OKC? The Bricktown boys had a great rookie class featuring Jaylin Williams breaking out in this game, and what all he brings to Mark Daigneault's offense continues to use him like Al Horford. Jalen Williams looks comfortable as a ballhandler, Tre Mann might have snapped out of his slump, and what the Thunder need is written in ink for Sam Presti this offseason. Rylan Stiles dives into it all.
