4 roto titles · 59 seasons (1967-68–2025-26) · SEA → OKC
Four times in 59 seasons, the Oklahoma City Thunder have finished a season as Roto Champ, the last of them in 2024-25. Three came in straight seasons, 2011-12 through 2013-14, and then the franchise waited 11 seasons for the next one, so this is really two separate eras rather than one long run. Their average finish is 11.0 all time, against 13.8 over the last ten seasons, a step down from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in 2024-25, worth a 22.5 z-score. Gary Payton is the franchise’s most persistent roto presence, owning 8 of its 50 best seasons. One quirk worth knowing: the All-Franchise Team below fills strict positions, so Brent Barry, Hersey Hawkins and Gus Williams all rate above somebody who made it and still missed, purely because their position ran out.
