Thunder Gets Another Center to Bolster Championship Roster for 2025-26

The Oklahoma City Thunder just keep getting richer after winning the NBA Championship a few days ago. The Thunder just came off of celebrating their Championship at the parade, and on Wednesday night, their Big Rotation just got deeper with the selection of Georgetown center Thomas Sorber. Sorber brings more size to go along with Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein. Sorber doesn’t need to be productive right away for the Thunder for this pick to be successful. Here’s the detailed analysis for the Sorber pick!

Thunder Select Sorber at Pick 15

Thomas Sorber averaged 14.5 points per game, 8.5 rebounds per game, and 2.0 blocks per game for the Georgetown Hoyas last season. The Thunder are grabbing another big to bolster their bench rotation to go along with Holmgren and Hartenstein, and several others. This is a luxury pick for OKC as they won the Championship and can bolster their championship roster with another rotational big that they can develop for years to come down the road. 

This Thunder team just keeps growing to new levels and will continue to be a threat in the Western Conference, and Sorber will help that defensive mentality grow a lot during his rookie season, where he could see fewer minutes early on as a rookie but Mark Daigneault is going to give him some time where he sees fit. 

Final Thoughts

Oklahoma City is going to be the top team in the league most likely again, and this pick increases the depth that the team already has with the core of the team. Sorber is going to be a good prospect and has plenty of good influence around him in OKC. This should be a perfect marriage for the years to come. We shall see how this develops going forward down the road. For more NBA Draft Articles, follow along with Total Apex Sports.
