An Oklahoma City Thunder ranking names Otega Oweh the likeliest of its three two-way players to earn a standard contract, ahead of Brooks Barnhizer and Josh Dix. The team has 14 active-roster players and one spot open for the coming season.
Oweh, the No. 41 pick in the 2026 draft, averaged 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game at Kentucky; the article cites his defense and shot creation but says his shooting needs consistency. Barnhizer is ranked second: he averaged 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 10 G League games, though the article says his offense needs to improve. Dix is third; the undrafted rookie averaged 8.4 points and shot 40.6% from three in Summer League, with perimeter shooting described as his clearest route to the roster.
The Thunder could start the season without filling the open spot. Training camp is scheduled to begin in late September, with the preseason opener in Tulsa on Oct. 6.
