The Oklahoma City Thunder are rebuilding for 2027, shedding key veterans like Lu Dort and Isaiah Joe while betting big on unproven rookies—Thomas Sorber, Aday Mara, Bennett Stirtz, and Nikola Topic.

Past OKC stars like Westbrook, Harden, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander all rose through that event before dominating in the playoffs—and last year’s standout Ousmane Dieng proved it again. If any of these young guns crack the 2027 Rising Stars roster, it could signal they’re ready to step up when it matters most.
