Answering the five best questions submitted to this week’s mailbag.
As the NBA Playoffs continue and four teams remain in the running for a championship, the Oklahoma City Thunder are looking ahead to the 2024-25 campaign. This is a pivotal offseason for the rising franchise, as Thunder GM Sam Presti will have every opportunity to make the right moves.
Despite the fact that Oklahoma City will still be one of the younger teams in the NBA again next season, there's no question that the Thunder shouldn't be a championship contender. Whether that's through internal development, the 2024 NBA Draft, free agency or trades, OKC has levers to pull and improve.Which Thunder player will improve the most this offseason?
I believe Chet Holmgren will take a significant jump next season now that he has a year of playing under his belt and knows what he tangibly needs to improve upon during this offseason stretch. He's on the trajectory of being a top 15 to 20 player in the NBA next season, which is absolutely achievable with a quality offseason of work and improvement.Without being impulsive, Oklahoma City should look to add experience, size and playmaking.
