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.

Dwight Howard's Hall of Fame nod closes a career built on elite rim protection, rebounding, and durability, with a defining Rockets chapter (2014-16) that kept Houston in title contention alongside James Harden. His Lakers peak delivered a championship in 2020, cementing a two-way legacy that fantasy managers should respect for blocks and FG efficiency over raw scoring.

From a fantasy lens, Howard’s peak underscores the value of interior defense and efficient shooting in big men. Houston’s era with him helped establish how a dominant defender can influence playoff contention even when offensive ceiling isn’t sky-high, guiding how we value current two-way centers on contending teams.

Hall of Fame milestones like this highlight the enduring impact of defense in dynasty and redraft formats, reminding managers to weigh blocks, boards, and efficiency just as heavily as scoring when evaluating bigs on playoff rosters.
