For anyone not taking the chance to check in on the Oklahoma City Thunder, change that. This team is plenty of fun on a night to night basis and deserves to be watched. There are so many things to check out for this team, especially if you can get past the lingering Al Horford.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming into his own even more so than he did last season and is looking like the star prospect growing on a tanking team that will continue to open eyes. Luguentz Dort has new confidence as a 3-point gunner and is catnip for defense and hustler junkies.

Isaiah Roby needs more minutes and gets them any time Horford misses a game. Hamidou Diallo seems to be still figuring out what to do with his athleticism but when it works it is a joy. Kenrich Williams may have the most questionable hair in the entire league.

Aleksej Pokusevski looks like a baby deer mixed with a horror movie monster and may not make many shots but you will remember watching him gallop up and down the court. Theo Maledon simply should have been a first-round pick. This team will not win many games but they should be watched by more people. They will have some of the most pleasant losses you could ask for.
