Ranking the top 5 shooting guards in OKC Thunder history

James Harden leads OKC's top shooting guards, followed by Lu Dort, Andre Roberson, Thabo Sefolosha, and Alex Caruso. Harden powered OKC to the Finals and earned Sixth Man of the Year, but the 2012 trade to Houston reshaped the franchise's timeline.

Dort developed into a premier 3-and-D threat and All-Defensive pick; Roberson and Sefolosha anchored elite defenses; Caruso provided playoff-grade defense and a championship ring in a brief Thunder run.

Which guard on this list offers the clearest path to sustained fantasy value next season given Dort's growth and Caruso's defense?How does Dort's evolving offense affect Thunder's spacing and fantasy upside for players like Caruso and Sefolosha?Does Harden's OKC tenure suggest any lessons for dynasty fantasy value in guards who later depart?If you had to draft one guard for dynasty value from this list, who and why?
