Scott Davis (Business Insider) has the Thunder third in his power rankings: “The Thunder are one of the big winners of the offseason for re-signing Paul George. Now they’ll be hoping for addition by subtraction after trading Anthony, who wasn’t a good fit last year. George and Russell Westbrook make the Thunder as dangerous as any team, and around them, they’ve added length and athleticism. Shooting is still a concern, but the Thunder should be more dangerous in Year 2.”
