The OKC Thunder in-season tournament schedule dropped, and Rylan Stiles thinks the Oklahoma City Thunder are poised to make a deep run in the first-ever NBA Cup chase. Then, we give out one key improvement for every single Thunder player to make ahead of the 2023-24 NBA season. What does Shai Gilgeous-Alexander need to work on? Can Josh Giddey get to the line? What will Chet Holmgren, Cason Wallace, Keyontae Johnson, and Vasilije Micic bring to Bricktown? Can Aaron Wiggins, Kenrich Williams, and Isaiah Joe become even better role players? What is left for Aleksej Pokusevski, Tre Mann, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to improve on in a massive make-or-break year? Can Ousmane Dieng crack the rotation on a nightly basis? Will Jaylin Williams and Jalen Williams use force? Can Lu Dort find a way to achieve offensive success for the Thunder? How good can OKC be this season?

Your evaluation on JW is spot on…
I said that till I was blue in the face last year, he doesn’t know he’s a superstar yet, and needs to be a little more selfish at times.
THE THUNDER NEEDS TO WIN, THAT'S THE PLAN
Cam you explain the in season tournament ND how it works
Its really amazing how much we take it for granted that we drafted a 2022 lottery pick PG in JDub & now he is a starting PF who can match up reasonably well with any other PF/'4' in the NBA. To this day fans still about how PG Magic Johnson was able to have one great playoff game moving from the '1' to the '5' spot when Kareem was hurt.
Did you see the pickup game Chet had with Trae and KD. He had 31 points and made some tough shots over KD
CHET ROTY SHAI MVP
Most players dont have explosive physical, no problem, since they find diferent patterns.
Conley, Edwards and crew found out a way to put Giddey like primary ball handler, no pnk roll or center escape, Dub also fought against elite guards defenders which court place he would be weaker.
Only a game, hurts…
Since rolling, Dub is fast.
