Preseason roster
The Thunder’s training camp roster, with jersey number, name, height, age and college or hometown.
00 Jazian Gortman, 6-2, 22, Columbia, South Carolina: A four-year G League veteran who played 56 minutes for Dallas last season across 16 games.
2 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, 6-6, 27, Kentucky: One of the four best players in the world.
3 Chris Youngblood, 6-4, 23, Alabama: Played on OKC’s Summer League team and likely is headed for the G League Oklahoma City Blue.
5 Luguentz Dort, 6-4, 26, Arizona State: The accolades finally arrived for Dort in 2024-25, when he made first-team all-defense in the NBA.
6 Jaylin Williams, 6-8, 23, Arkansas: His minutes against Nikola Jokic in the playoffs raised eyebrows across the league.
7 Chet Holmgren, 7-1, 23, Gonzaga: Appears headed for a great career, provided he can stay healthy, having missed more regular-season games (132) than he’s played in (114) as a Thunder.
8 Jalen Williams, 6-6, 24, Santa Clara: Already a star. Seems headed for superstar status.
9 Alex Caruso, 6-5, 31, Texas A&M: Energy, experience, clutch shooting, world-class defense; Caruso in Year 1 with OKC was everything he was billed to be.
11 Isaiah Joe, 6-5, 26, Arkansas: Has become the Thunder’s resident deep-ball shooter, with a 41.2% 3-point percentage over his three Oklahoma City seasons
12 Thomas Sorber, 6-10, 19, Georgetown: Seemed to be drafted in case Hartenstein is lost in free agency next season, but Sorber’s knee injury muddles those plans.
13 Ousmane Dieng, 6-10, 22, Lot-et-Garonne, France: Injuries and the Thunder’s deep roster have kept Dieng from making much of an impact over his first three seasons.
15 Branden Carlson, 7-0, 26, Utah: The Thunder’s fourth center, on a two-league contract, so playing time is limited, but Carlson helped from time to time and scored 26 points in a late-season game at New Orleans.
16 Zack Austin, 6-4, 24, Pittsburgh: Upside this season is sticking with the G League Blue.
17 Malevy Leons, 6-9, 26, Bradley: The Dutch import is with the G League Blue but got into six Thunder games last season, playing 19 minutes.
21 Aaron Wiggins, 6-6, 26, Maryland: His shot-creation skills soared in 2024-25; a bona fide NBA scorer off the bench.
22 Cason Wallace, 6-4, 21, Kentucky: A major reason why the Thunder defense doesn’t slack, even when Dort goes to the bench.
23 Brooks Barnhizer, 6-6, 23, Northwestern: A hustler who will be on a two-league contract but impressed in Summer League.
25 Ajay Mitchell, 6-5, 23, Cal-Santa Barbara: Slippery point guard will be a valuable backup, though his minutes won’t soar.
34 Kenrich Williams, 6-7, 30, Texas Christian: Knee surgery will delay Kenny Hustle’s season debut, but when he’s healthy again, Williams will be ready.
44 Nikola Topic, 6-6, 20, Novi Sad, Serbia: Clearly a talent, as a lottery pick, how much did missing his entire rookie year with a knee injury put him behind the Thunder mainstays?
55 Isaiah Hartenstein, 7-0, 27, Quakenbruck, Germany: Best free-agent signing in OKC history fits fantastically into the Thunder rotation and the Thunder culture.
