OKC Thunder Stats

Tweeting well-researched and interesting stats on Oklahoma City Thunder players. #ThunderUp.
Happy Lu Dort Day! Here's all 17 3-pointers that Lu Dort made in the NBA Finals.
Happy Alex Caruso Day! Alex Caruso had a league-leading 45 steals in the playoffs. That was the 15th most in NBA playoff history, and most in the playoffs since Russell Westbrook had 46 in the 2015-16 season.
Happy Isaiah Hartenstein Day! Isaiah Hartenstein played 57 games in the regular season and had 28 double-doubles. That is 26 more double-doubles than Kendrick Perkins had in his Thunder career.
Cason Wallace had the 6th most steals overall, and 3rd most steals per game last season. I believe he has the most untapped potential on the team, and, outside of the Big 3, I want Cason Wallace on the team the most, going forward.
Eight players in NBA history have shot 50% overall and 38% from 3, with a minimum of 200 made 3s: Aaron Wiggins Jalen Williams Kevin Durant Michael Porter Jr. John Stockton Chris Mullin Karl-Anthony Towns Drazen Petrovic
Happy Isaiah Joe Day! Isaiah Joe is 1 of 3 NBA players that have made 100+ 3-pointers and shot 40% from 3, each of the last 3 seasons.
It was a more entertaining time when people seriously wondered about the Thunder "roster crunch" and what to do about the likes of TyTy Washington and Usman Garuba. Now it's, "Who should get the 3rd two-way slot"?
After our cuts, I'll repeat what I wrote back in July that we are going to largely forget about the moves that were made this season, just like we did last season. Traded to HOU Oladipo JRE Waived Usman Garuba TyTy Washington Rudy Gay Jack White
In my best guess, I believe Ousmane Dieng is traded at some point and Branden Carlson gets some type Sam Presti-special of a 3 year $9M deal. Carlson is older, but I highly doubt an extension for Ousmane Dieng happens. Presti doesn’t let players hit restricted free agency.
Branden Carlson vs Orlando Magic Highlights 23 PTS 7 REB 2 BLK 9-13 FGM 4-6 3PT 7ft sniper.
Thunder own the Clippers 2026 first rounder. Clippers look good on paper, but older veteran teams do have a history of crashing out as age and injuries can catch up to them.
BREAKING: Three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal has agreed to a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns and plans to join the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year, $11 million deal with a player option after clearing waivers, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports told ESPN.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could miss his next 900 consecutive shots, and still have a higher career FG% than Kobe Bryant.
The best basketball player ever.
Player salaries of 8 different teams top 3 highest paid players over the next 3 seasons. Thunder top 3 are cheap this season, before going up, but there's nothing happening for them that isn't happening elsewhere. It's not a unique situation to pay good players high salaries.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Total Points Rank At Each Age Compared to Every Player At That Age 21 Years Old - 129th. Between Nick Smith and Anthony Randolph 22 Years Old - 85th. Jarrett Allen and Keyonte George 23 Years Old - 97th. Greg Monroe and Darius Miles. 24 Years Old - 92nd.…
The first Thunder run didn't win any titles in large part because many of the rotation players were bad. Thunder had amazing players, but also had to rely on Dion Waiters, Randy Foye, Caron Butler, Patrick Patterson, Derek Fisher etc. which was largely a disaster. Sam Presti is…
There's not a single team that wouldn't love to switch places with the situation the Oklahoma City Thunder have. Paying young, elite players maximum contracts is a good thing.
Sam Presti drafting Jalen Williams 12th overall was an incredible find. Over the past 25 seasons, only 4 players drafted 11th or later have made an All-Star team in their first 3 seasons: Jalen Williams Tyrese Haliburton Bam Adebayo Donovan Mitchell
Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder All-NBA star and champion Jalen Williams has agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could reach $287 million, agents Bill Duffy and Justin Haynes of WME Basketball told ESPN.
On Adam Flagler Day, just shoot your shot over and over again.
Chet Holmgren with the long-term deal is well worth it. He did have two random injuries in his 1st and 3rd seasons, but in the 2nd season he played all 92 games. As it is, the list of players in NBA history that have averaged 2 blocks a game with 37% on 3's, is only Chet…
