How Much Do We Believe in These Thunder Predictions for the 2026-27 Season?

How Much Do We Believe in These Thunder Predictions for the 2026-27 Season?

How much do we actually believe in each of our biggest Thunder predictions heading into the new season? We’re putting our convictions to the test with a snake draft of 15 Oklahoma City Thunder beliefs and deciding which ones we’re willing to bet on.

Will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finish top 2 in MVP voting? Does Jalen Williams make an All-NBA team? Is Cason Wallace the set-in-stone starter following Lu Dort’s departure? Could OKC finish #1 in defensive rating AND top 5 in offensive rating? And will the Thunder make the Western Conference Finals for a third straight season?

We also debate some of the more intriguing predictions: three Thunder bench players averaging double-digit points, five players making 100+ threes, Nikola Topic leading the rookie group in games and minutes, Aday Mara or Ryan Sorber playing 700+ minutes, Ajay Mitchell appearing in 65+ games, Cason getting an extension before the season, Kenrich Williams topping 1,100 minutes, and much more.

Plus, there are some big-picture bets on the table: Does OKC win more than 62.5 games? Could two Thunder players receive DPOY votes or two players get Sixth Man of the Year votes? And could Sam Presti make a deadline move for a top-nine rotation player?

Which predictions are we most confident in—and which ones are we willing to let someone else take?
