Oklahoma City Thunder: 3 candidates for a breakout season in 2019-20
The Oklahoma City Thunder have transformed their team into a less competitive unit but there are still some players that should have breakout seasons.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are not the same team that lost in the playoffs after Damian Lillard made the deep three that sent them home. The Thunder lost their two best players in Paul George and Russell Westbrook, but this team still has some players that could have breakout seasons.

There is a mix of young and old players that can help the team. The Thunder drafted Darius Bazley with the 23rd pick in the NBA Draft. He will be a player to develop in the near future. With all the movement that the Thunder had, his progress will be imperative.
The Thunder now have Chris Paul at the point guard spot. He will be asked to lead this team to the playoffs. Paul began his career here when he played for the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets. The fans will have a familiar face to replace Westbrook.
While these players are going to be great for the Thunder there are three players that will have breakout seasons for the OKC Thunder and here they are.
