When ESPN published its annual future power rankings in May, the Oklahoma City Thunder fared moderately well.
They finished 19th overall but did better in individual categories: The Thunder finished first in draft picks, tied for first in salary and was top-10 in management.
That shows the players are lacking but the foundation is there.

Future draft capital and 2021 second-round draft picks are not included.
