Approaching the off=season, the Oklahoma City Thunder could have some decisions to make regarding the 25-year-old defensive hound.
Few players carry the same devensive reputation that Luguentz Dort has garnered since entering the NBA five seasons ago.
The 25-year-old averaged 10.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and just under a steal per game on 43.8/39.4/82.6% shooting splits last season, his most efficient campaign by a significant margin. Although his point total decreased from the last few years, the large boost in his 3-point shooting ability helped improve the floor spacing in the starting lineup and turn his status into a two-way player.
As the Thunder reconstruct its roster to continue contending for a championship, there's certainly a possibility for big changes. If it looks into the trade market to improve the power forward position, Dort could be a desirable asset for other teams to receive in a package. Dort won't be traded for just any player, especially with the connection he's built with the organization. He's a significant part of the core group of players building a new era with the Thunder, and to move on from him requires a player that will need to undoubtedly put it over the hump.
