However, they rank 28th in FG% allowed at the rim as Domantas Sabonis and Alex Len aren’t outstanding rim protectors. The Kings have actually done an outstanding job of limiting rim attempts and rank first in opponent rim rate allowed (24.2%) this season. As a result, the Thunder rank fourth in rim rate. His ability to space the floor has been massive for the Thunder team as guys like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey and Jalen Williams love to drive the ball to the rim.
Chet Holmgren, in my eyes, is an early Rookie of the Year Award favorite and is also legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate. The Thunder have started off their season 5-3 despite playing the sixth-most difficult schedule thus far, according to.
The Thunder are coming off an impressive win against the Cavaliers and the vibes seem to be great in Oklahoma City.
