The Thunder arrived to the top of the Western Conference last season way ahead of schedule! Can they follow it up this year by getting even better? The legendary Danny Foxworth joins me to talk about what to expect from his favorite team this year!
We start off looking back at last season’s run to the #1 seed in the west! Danny talks about how OKC was able to make that jump and when he realized they had a real shot at contending. We also touch on where his fandom began and how much last year’s Thunder team reminded him of the early years of the KD, Westbrook, and Harden squads.
Then, we talk about the emergence of the Thunder’s franchise player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, into a superstar. Danny breaks down what makes him so effective. And while we know who he’s their #1 guy, who is #2? Could it be Jalen Williams? If you’re not familiar with his game, Danny explains why he’s about to burst onto the scene nationally. And we evaluate Chet Holmgren’s rookie campaign.
As if they weren’t good enough, the Thunder pulled off some much-needed offseason moves. Did they address the issues that led to their playoff exit? Plus, Danny gives us some role players to pay attention to this season and tells me what to expect from some of the younger guys on the squad. We finish up with Danny’s season expectations. Tap in!
