OKC Thunder expect strong bench duo of Mitchell and McCain next season

The Oklahoma City Thunder anticipate a competitive season with Jared McCain and Ajay Mitchell forming a potent bench duo. Despite losses in roster depth, including Lu Dort and others, the Thunder have made strategic additions in the NBA Draft and expect internal player development. Mitchell, a candidate for Most Improved Player, averaged nearly 14 points per game last season, while McCain emerged as a key scorer during the playoffs. Both players are positioned to provide significant contributions off the bench behind the Thunder's strong starting lineup.
