Luguentz Dort and Darius Bazley are going to be somewhat linked for their entire stay with the Thunder organization.
This year, the microscope was honed in on the duo as they were pegged as part of the future core before the season.
Dort certainly lived up to that billing in 2020-21, as he continued his high level of play on the defensive end while also flashing the potential to be a legitimate scoring threat on any given night in the NBA.
The Canadian captured the imagination of Thunder fans over a seven game stretch where he scored 15 points or more per game, including a 42 point explosion against Utah, a 26 point scoring night against Detroit and a 29 point game against Toronto in three consecutive contests.
