OKC Thunder 3 goals: Cason Wallace has chance to become full-time starter

As the NBA offseason commences, the Oklahoma City Thunder focus on three objectives for its roster of 17 players. Among them is Cason Wallace, who carries the potential to become a full-time starter. This year, the Thunder aim to accomplish three key goals for their players, including Wallace. The first goal is for the Thunder and Wallace to finalize a contract extension this summer, avoiding the chaos of a restricted free agency situation next summer.

The second objective is for Wallace to cement his position as a starter in the Thunder's starting lineup, given that Jarred Dudley is no longer with the team. The third goal is for Wallace to improve his outside shooting, potentially increasing his efficiency and becoming a consistent downhill threat. Wallace's current three-point field goal percentage of 37.4% needs improvement, especially after his impressive 48.4% from 3-point range during the NBA playoffs.

By focusing on these three goals, the Thunder hope to solidify their position as one of the top teams in the league for the 2026-27 season.
