The Oklahoma City Thunder showcased promising talent during the 2025 NBA Summer League, finishing with a strong 4-1 record and reaching the semifinals. Key player Thomas Sorber was sidelined due to injury, but several others stepped up. Ajay Mitchell, looking to reclaim his role, averaged 20.0 points and demonstrated impressive shooting, while Branden Carlson and Nikola Topic also made significant impacts, showcasing their potential for the upcoming season.

Mitchell’s performance suggests he could secure a larger role, while Carlson's efficiency from the field (56.7%) solidifies his standing despite remaining on a two-way contract. Topic, returning from injury, showed promise with 11.0 points and 7.3 assists, hinting at his readiness to contribute alongside established stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Barnhizer also impressed defensively, making him a potential draft steal.
