Last season the OKC Thunder finished 10th in both offensive and defensive rating. Only three other squads accomplished that feat — the Warriors, Rockets and Raptors (who were the only team to finish top five in both). Certainly the news Andre Roberson‘s return will be delayed hurts. But the team added depth this offseason and purged the defensively challenged Carmelo Anthony. Despite ARob’s absence can OKC improve upon last season’s defensive ranking and where do they finish in both categories?
If Alex Abrines and Terrance Ferguson are the answer at shooting guard then no.
