It’s been roughly a week since the 2022-23 regular season started, which means the first batch of NBA power rankings has been published.
Rookie Wire’s Cody Taylor released his league-wide power rankings on Monday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder come in ranked 29th as they start their season winless in three games with a 0-3 record. Two of those losses came against the Minnesota Timberwolves; the other was to the Denver Nuggets.
“The Thunder nearly pulled off a huge upset over the Timberwolves on opening night and have since had a few more close losses. They look like a team that is going to compete hard and find themselves around late in games. As is the case with most young teams, putting it together for all 48 minutes will be key this season.”
This is a one-spot jump for the Thunder from the preseason rankings in which Rookie Wire ranked them dead last.
