Oklahoma City Thunder has one of the youngest rosters in the league, and they are betting that players like Chet Holmgren will be the future of the franchise and that they will help not only the franchise, but also Team USA at some point.

However, having a young core does not guarantee anything for the Thunder, as not all of the youngsters on the roster are of the same caliber. Only a couple are likely to make it far with the franchise.

On the other hand, the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup is getting closer, and although the United States will not have the biggest names on their roster, they hope that the players they select will be more than enough.
