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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”
