     The Oklahoma City Thunder are insanely good on paper and they should be a dominant force in the league. As of right now, they are out of the playoff picture. They have been terrible on offense and they have blown several games. In most of their wins they have held fourth quarter leads. The Thunder have the talent of a championship contender. They have an MVP PG, an all star SG, a lockdown SF, an all time great scorer, and a great all around center. The Thunder have the tools, they just need to put it together. This is their projected starting lineup 

PG: Russell Westbrook
SG: Paul George
SF: Andre Roberson
PF: Carmelo Anthony
C: Steven Adams

6th Man: Patrick Patterson

      The Thunder PG spot is easily Westbrook. Westbrook was the MVP last season as he is a triple double machine. Westbrook will have to learn to share with his new ball dominant teammates. Paul George is the SG as he shifts from SF. He will be a defensive force since he does not have to carry an offense like he did in Indiana. SF is Andre Roberson. Roberson is a dud on offense, but he is a first team defense talent. Carmelo Anthony also moves from SF to PF. He is a mismatch for nearly every PF as he can space the floor among other things. He can be a problem, however, if he takes too many shots. The center spot is Steven Adams. Adams is one of the better true centers in the league. Adams is a great post defender and he is very good in the post on offense, as well. The bench is full of solid players, but most of the time the bench will have one of the big three with them, like Westbrook, George, or Anthony. The Thunder should make the playoffs, but I do not know how far they will make it if they do not improve.
