OKC Thunder Depth Chart Updated: How do they line up their starting 5 with return of Chet Holmgren and drafting Cason Wallace on the roster?

The OKC Thunder selected Cason Wallace with the No. 10 pick in the 2023 NBA draft after a trade with the Dallas Mavericks. The Thunder also had the 50th overall pick and drafted Keyontae Johnson.

However, the biggest addition to Oklahoma City next season is Chet Holmgren, who will make his NBA debut after missing the entirety last season due to a foot injury. Holmgren showed out in the Thunder's first NBA Summer League game at Salt Lake City with 15 points, nine rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 29 minutes.

With the addition of Wallace and Johnson, as well as the return of Holmgren, how will the Thunder line up next season?

OKC Thunder projected starting five

• PG - Josh Giddey
• SG - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
• SF - Luguentz Dort
• PF - Jalen Williams
• C - Chet Holmgren

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a superstar-turning campaign last season for the Thunder. He averaged 31.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists to be named an All-Star for the first time and was also voted to the All-NBA First Team.

Meanwhile, Josh Giddey has established himself as the primary playmaker for Oklahoma City. Jalen Williams was the runner-up for the Rookie of the Year, while Luguentz Dort remains one of the best 3-and-D players in the league.

As for Chet Holmgren, the Thunder are likely going to ease him into the rotation and will play limited minutes. Jaylin Williams did a fabulous job as the starting center towards the end of the regular season and played alongside Holmgren in their first game in the Summer League.
