Former head coach of several NBA teams and now a commentator and analyst, **Stan Van Gundy** explained why the Oklahoma City Thunder have the potential to thrive in the upcoming season.
“They simply have an exceptionally strong team. If Shai gets injured, it’s clear they would lose a lot, but they are equipped to handle injuries to almost any other player on their roster. These guys are impressive. Jalen Williams is a true star — I’m not taking anything away from other players like Chet Holmgren, but if any of these guys aren’t performing at their best, there are others who can step in. Only Shai is irreplaceable, but everyone else… I mean, if Shai stays healthy, it’s hard to imagine any other team beating them,” Van Gundy’s remarks were quoted by Clutch Points.
