The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2025-26 NBA season as the reigning champions, having lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy after defeating the Indiana Pacers in the Finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered one of the most historic individual seasons in league history, sweeping every major award from MVP to Finals MVP. Alongside him, Jalen Williams blossomed into a legitimate All-Star, and Chet Holmgren anchored the defense while expanding his offensive arsenal. While Gilgeous-Alexander earned a fair and well-deserved 98 OVR, several other key Thunder players were either dramatically underrated or slightly overvalued.
