Thunder Depth Provides Openings

Mitchell showed strong production in limited playoff minutes without a key starter, posting 26.5 points and 7.8 assists per 75 possessions.

Guards Positioned Behind Fragile Starters

Dosunmu delivered a 43-point playoff outing as a reserve and now sits behind a lead guard who has played just over 50 games across six seasons while averaging 28 minutes last year. Black averaged 23 points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals per 36 minutes when two starters were out, highlighting upside in expanded minutes.

Bench and Backup Bigs With Clear Paths

Bailey posted 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 14 games while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 40.3 percent from three. Sexton has produced nearly 24 points and five assists per 36 minutes on efficient shooting. Stewart recorded 1.6 blocks per game in under 23 minutes, ranking eighth league-wide and offering double-double potential if a primary big misses time.
