Ajay Mitchell already making the Thunder rethink the depth chart

The Oklahoma City Thunder are beginning to encounter a problem that most teams could only dream of having. Fresh off of winning 68 games and the first championship in franchise history, Oklahoma City is preparing for an influx of talent and steps forward from young players who could soon crack the rotation.

Finding minutes in one of the deepest rotations in the NBA will be no easy task, but Ajay Mitchell is one of the players with the tools to force Mark Daigneault's hand.

Mitchell was a second-round draft pick in 2024 and appeared in 36 games for the Thunder as a rookie.
