Sam Presti is optimistic about the future of OKC's young core

The Oklahoma City Thunder sit at 64–18, holding the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference and the league’s top power ranking. Their net rating of +11.1 reflects a strong overall performance, and they have gone 7–3 in their last ten games, despite a two‑game losing streak that recently ended.

General manager Sam Presti’s optimism centers on the team’s young core, which has already helped the Thunder secure the league’s best record. Looking ahead, the focus will be on maintaining consistency, continuing player development, and preserving their position at the top of the West as the season progresses.
