HoopsHype staff have released their top 100 nba players We’re heading into the 2024-25 season. The season is fast approaching, which means it’s the perfect time to prepare for the upcoming nine-month campaign.
THE Oklahoma City Thunder They enter the season as heavy favorites for the title. They were the youngest seed in league history last season and lost a tight second-round series to the The Dallas Mavericks in the NBA playoffs.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren And Jalen Williams The Thunder completed one of the best lines in the league. As expected, the Thunder had multiple representatives in HoopHype’s top 100 players. Here are the four Thunder players who appeared there:
What HoopsHype wrote: “Dort is tenacious and unafraid to take on anyone on the perimeter, making life very difficult for opposing point guards… Dort has also developed significantly offensively since arriving in the NBA, going from averaging 6.8 points as a rookie to 17.2 points in his third season.”
43. Jalen Williams
What HoopsHype wrote: “We think Williams, a talented mid-range scorer with much-improved three-point accuracy, should take another leap forward in 2024-25. He’ll just need to maintain those excellent three-point and free-throw shooting marks with higher volume and learn to draw more fouls.”
40. Chet Holmgren
What HoopsHype wrote: “Holmgren, who is essentially a wing who plays center, has a lot of potential and we’re excited to see what he looks like in his sophomore season, especially on offense if his three-point shooting takes a leap.”
3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
What HoopsHype wrote: “Gilgeous-Alexander finished second in the league in WS/48 last season and with the way his game has progressed over the past few seasons – and with the talent on the Thunder’s current roster – he’s another player who could very well be in contention for his first career MVP award in 2024-25.”
