Following Oklahoma City's free agency mic drop, adding former Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein to a team flirting with contention, its roster feels relatively complete.

With just one remaining roster spot and roughly $8 million remaining in cap space, here's how the Thunder's depth chart projects as of this week:

Starters

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

The First Team All-NBAer. The MVP runner-up. The franchise. SGA maintained his case as perhaps the NBA’s most consistent star after a convincing playoff showing. After competing in this summer's Olympics, he'll get his best shot at a deep playoff run yet.

Lu Dort 

The face of All-Defense snubs. Dort chased down some of the league’s toughest perimeter assignments a year ago while also delivering his most efficient shooting season yet. After mostly filtering his shot selection, Dort connected on 39.4% of his 3-pointers.

Alex Caruso 

Caruso, swapped straight up for Josh Giddey, became the Thunder’s most seismic move of the summer. He’s been named to two consecutive All-Defense teams, hit clutch shots for the Bulls last season, shot 40.8% from deep and ran his share of pick-and-roll.

His place here is interesting. On virtually any other team, Caruso would undoubtedly start (he started 57 of his 71 appearances last season, averaging 28.7 minutes). There’s a level of redundancy in this lineup. But he’s as pluggable as almost any perimeter role player in the NBA, and has the encouraging sample of wing defense that would hush most questions of size.

If the question is whether Dort or Caruso should start, the answer depends on what surrounding lineups coach Mark Daigneault grows most comfortable with.

If Daigneault feels Jalen Williams needs a secondary pick-and-roll initiator in his bench lineups, perhaps he’d be better suited pairing him with Caruso. It might be best keeping Dort on low volume, limited to spot-ups and attacking closeouts. Then again, how much room will Daigneault give rookie Cason Wallace, who the team has expressed an increased desire in playmaking reps?

OKC’s offseason could very well have ended with Monday’s acquisition of Isaiah Hartenstein. In that case, there's a possibility that Caruso and Dort will start together. And in theory, the Thunder will possess and toy with so much lineup versatility that it probably won’t matter so much.

Jalen Williams 

The Thunder is betting on one of its top scorers to make yet another leap. After a season of difficult shotmaking and legitimate two-way play, Williams couldn’t successfully get to the shots he adores in the playoffs.

With the Thunder’s priorities this summer, it didn’t reach for obvious off-the-dribble creation, pointing to a hope that Williams makes another jump. And alongside Hartenstein, he certainly can. Hartenstein will, by far, be OKC’s best screen setter. Williams should benefit from new angles and room to work to his spots.

Despite playing more like a wing, he’s translated that same fluidity to the pseudo-four spot. He’s defended everyone from Kyrie Irving to Lauri Markkanen. If the Thunder doesn’t acquire another big wing, perhaps it’s with a curiosity of just how well Williams can fill that spot.

Chet Holmgren

The team’s desire for Hartenstein, with a hefty contract to match, has prompted questions of Holmgren’s role on next year’s team. But general manager Sam Presti has been adamant about Holmgren being an NBA center.

Hartenstein’s arrival certainly makes things more fluid. There will be times when Holmgren, in the minutes they share, will likely orbit around him. Presti has also vocalized a desire to have Holmgren on the ball more. Perhaps Hartenstein will eventually set ball screens for him. Another possibility is that Holmgren & SGA lineups become more prominent than Holmgren & Williams lineups, with Hartenstein being such an intriguing tool to the way Williams can run the second unit.

But the belief seems to remain in Holmgren being the Thunder’s primary center. His rim presence is among the league's best. His skills as a center force defenses to bend. It’s unlikely the rug will be ripped from underneath him.

Key reserves

Isaiah Hartenstein

In the 26 games before his first start for the Knicks a season ago, Hartenstein averaged 20.2 minutes. In that sample, his time ranged from as few as 10 minutes in a game and as many as 39 minutes.

Ignore the contract. It’s what OKC was willing to pay for lineup versatility. It’s still likely that Hartenstein will come off the bench. The Thunder benefits too greatly from the spacing with Holmgren at center, and the second units will probably depend too much on Hartenstein’s presence.

But perhaps spectators are asking the wrong questions. There’s nothing that suggests Daigneault won’t lean into the lineup experimentation, especially early in the season, that so many dreaded a season ago. If anything, OKC has more reasons than ever.

It knows it can win. It knows that, on paper, it’s staring down contention. But it won’t be able to find the formula unless it configures lineups. There’s still too much yet to be unveiled. What pathway remains for Ousmane Dieng to be in the rotation moving forward? How productive and versatile can Dillon Jones truly be in Year 1? How much will Daigneault enjoy the two-big lineups? What lineups allow Holmgren and Hartenstein to truly thrive together?

There are at least a dozen more questions to be answered. Daigneault will surely take the time to. What’s to keep him from starting Hartenstein in some games and making him the first off the bench in others?

Without having seen Holmgren and Hartenstein play together, the most likely vision is that they share something close to five minutes together, and that Hartenstein fills up the minutes OKC needs when Holmgren isn’t on the floor.

Cason Wallace

According to Daigneault, Wallace won’t participate in Summer League. But the expectations remain for him to make a leap as a player who can create on the ball and is given more opportunity to make those decisions.

As a possible secondary ball handler, Wallace can unlock plenty for OKC. He’s already regarded as one of the league’s best young 3-and-D molds, chasing annoying ball handlers and making 41.9% of his 3s last season.

Isaiah Joe

The Thunder secured Joe’s future with a four-year, $48 million deal on Monday. Joe remains the team’s best movement shooter, with deep 3-point range and high volume at a 41.6% clip.

This past season, Joe demonstrated other facets of his game — enough that the Thunder felt comfortable slotting him into the starting lineup in the final two games of the season. His off-ball movement should prove vital to making the Hartenstein addition pop.

Aaron Wiggins

The Thunder locked up one of the league's most underrated multi-tool role players on a five-year, $47 million deal Monday. Wiggins shot 49.2% on 1.6 3-point attempts per game last year, also making contributions as a sound defender and significant cutter. With OKC's world of possibilities, Wiggins should have the chance to connect even more lineups.

Less definitive roles

Kenrich Williams

The 6-foot-6 forward played interesting minutes as a small-ball center a couple seasons back. But his minutes and volume eventually dropped off over the course of this past season. Williams is still a capable shooter and wing defender, but he’s now part of a deeper rotation than ever.

Jaylin Williams

Jaylin Williams kept OKC’s five-out hopes alive in the postseason. He might not have drawn the same perimeter attention as Holmgren, but he still made 40.9% of his 3s in the postseason and was an adequate playmaking hub when necessary.

At some point in the season, he made a clear effort to improve as a shotblocker. But it still wasn’t enough to mask the difference in his defensive impact versus Holmgren’s. With Hartenstein in the fold, it’s difficult to envision Williams’ role being any bigger than it was a season ago.

Ousmane Dieng

The train still hasn’t quite left Dieng. The Thunder’s journey toward contention is picking up steam, but there’s still room for the idea of Dieng to be part of the core.

A G League Finals MVP this past season, Dieng has demonstrated flashes of promise. He has the physical qualities that could make him a suitable power forward for the big leagues. But the decision making and shooting are still works in progress. Will he develop in time to contribute to a Western Conference powerhouse?

Dillon Jones

Jones is one of the biggest question marks on the roster. Presti had a vision for him worth trading five second-round picks, and with his peculiar game, Jones’ role can take any direction.

A 6-foot-6, do-it-all ball handler with a 6-11 wingspan in college, Jones is probably a wing with ball skills for the Thunder. It might not even be worth boxing him in with how fluid both him and the Thunder are. Jones should have the chance to contribute on the glass, to push in transition and to make good reads in spot minutes.
