The challenge is huge and to achieve it, the best version of all the men who conquered the ring last year is needed, but also positive surprises. Oklahoma City Thunder is aware of the difficulty of retaining a title in today's NBA, and can only aspire to it if it has as good news as those experienced in the first game of the season.

Maintaining the competitive squad that made them champions was a complex challenge, but once achieved, Oklahoma City Thunder is not satisfied. They know they will need a deep rotation and that some unexpected player must take a significant step forward to surprise their opponents. What was seen in the debut against the Rockets suggests that Cason Wallace and the rookie Ajay Mitchell could emerge as those surprise factors that revolutionize the team.

Indeed, third-year guard Cason Wallace has shown a clear upward trend in his early NBA years, but it feels like he can push his limits this season. At 21 years old, he is ready to become a much more impactful player on both ends of the court. As a luxury backup for both him and Shai, another perimeter player, rookie Ajay Mitchell, has surprised everyone with his boldness and talent. Exciting times are ahead for Oklahoma City Thunder.
