Overlooked Thunder player holds the secret sauce for championship repeat

Despite what their borderline troubling dependency on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may suggest, the OKC Thunder have one of the deepest rosters in the entire league.

Last season, Oklahoma City took care of business and earned an NBA Finals victory largely due to this elite depth, and, now with an undefeated record seven games into the 2025-26 campaign, they look like a true contender once again.

And if this wasn't exciting enough, there is one specific player on the roster who seems primed to have a more notable impact during this hopeful repeat tour.

Said player -- Aaron Wiggins.
