This season the Oklahoma City Thunder has a variety of fresh new faces. We all know about Gilgeous-Alexander and what he brings night in and night out. However, the emergence of Luguentz Dort is becoming similar to what Minshew mania was for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season.

Dort has played exceptional basketball for the Thunder as of late. He’s averaging nine points a night on 50 percent shooting since being inserted into the starting lineup.

In Oklahoma City, there is a growing narrative that Dort should replace Terrance Ferguson in the starting lineup who has missed time recently due to personal issues. He and players like Darius Bazley, Deonte Burton, and Hamidou Diallo need more consistent playing time to prepare for a playoff run.
