Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Oklahoma City Thunder.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Thunder had a nice playoff run and proved they are a young team on the rise.  There was one new entrant and one significant elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Russell Westbrook
2. Gary Payton
3. Kevin Durant
4. Shawn Kemp
5. Jack Sikma

You can find the entire list here.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has rocketed to #8 from #27. He was a First-Team All-NBA selection and the MVP runner-up last year to Nikola Jokic, and the sky is the limit for this young Canadian.

The new entrant was Jalen Williams, who debuted at #46.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Jalen Williams played college ball at Santa Clara, the alma mater of Steve Nash. Nash would become a multi-time MVP and Hall of Famer, but no other player was drafted from Santa Clara for years…that is until Jalen Williams was taken 12th Overall by OKC in 2022.

Williams had an excellent rookie season, seeing ample time where he averaged 14.1 Points per Game and was the runner-up for the Rookie of the Year.  Last season, Williams played more at Power Forward, increased his PPG to 19.1, and played only one minute more per game.  He is a potential All-Star on a team that could win it all, and he is only getting started.
