If Sam Presti and the Oklahoma City Thunder decide to bring back the exact same roster for next season – barring any major injuries – then OKC will be a better team next season. Billy Donovan won’t have three rookies in his rotation. Unlike this past season, everybody will have legitimate experience playing together.
But most importantly, there is a solid foundation for each and every player to build on. For some (see Jerami Grant) it may take only small adjustments, while others (see Alex Abrines) may need more then just this offseason to fully develop their biggest weaknesses.
