Thunder’s Young Core Rising | Oklahoma City Thunder News
Description
The Oklahoma City Thunder just pulled off a bold roster reset, trading away three rotation players for future draft picks — and somehow, they’re still viewed as one of the deepest teams in the league. With big contracts locked in for Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, GM Sam Presti is betting on youth, giving rising stars like Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace a chance to shine. Look out for breakout candidates in 2026-27: seven-foot-three center Aday Mara, versatile point guard Nikola Topic, and sharpshooting defender Brooks Barnhizer — all primed to take major leaps and redefine the Thunder’s next era.
