Oklahoma City Thunder

The team I like to watch out for is the Oklahoma City Thunder. They have a bright and young nucleus to build around in a budding superstar in Kevin Durant and a sidekick in Jeff Green. Russell Westbrook is making a good start for being a good running mate for Kevin Durant. I think that Westbrook and Durant and Green are going to be good basketball players for the long run. They have the personnel around them to chase that elusive NBA title. They have a defensive combo guard in Thabo Sefolosha. He can make a living chasing and defending the best perimeter scorers of the world. He will be a better NBA player if Sefolosha can have a reliable jump shot or being a threat from 3-point land. Serge Ibaka can make a great perimeter big man and pivot. He can block shots and he has the athleticism and speed that most big men do not have. I like having a scorer and shooter like James Harden on the bench. His instant scoring will help the Thunder remain close in tight games. I also like Eric Maynor's demeanor when he gets to play behind Russell Westbrook. If Cole Aldrich ever gets to play, I like to see him perform. He has the potential to be a great NBA player. I also like Byron Mullens too. If these two young centers ever get to play for the Thunder, I would like to see them succeed at the NBA level as soon as possible. The sky is the limit for Mullens and Aldrich. Nick Collison makes a great backup power forward and center for the Oklahoma City Thunder. If I want to see Collison succeed, his defensive rebounding and floor leadership will help the team as much as possible.
