Over the two campaigns leading into 2025-26, the OKC Thunder established themselves as one of the best perimeter-scoring teams in the association, finishing with the sixth- and first-ranked three-point shooting percentages in 2024-25 and 2023-24, respectively.
This year, unfortunately, it appears this success rate has failed to flow on through, as they currently place a middling 16 in the NBA with a clip of just 35.5 percent.
This alone is a statistic that should be cause for concern for Oklahoma City as they aim to become the league's first repeat champion in nearly a decade, though there's one other metric that's truly a cause for long-term concern.
