Oklahoma City Thunder soar to No. 1 in ESPN’s latest NBA power rankings—despite last season’s Western Conference Finals exit—thanks to a resilient core and promising offseason moves, including potential returns of Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Even with major roster changes, the Sixers lag behind, while last year’s Finals teams, the Knicks and Spurs, fall short. The Spurs, who ousted OKC in the playoffs, rank second but can’t match Thunder’s depth and draft assets. Power rankings may not equal a title, but this signals the Thunder are primed to dominate again.
