The NBA released its annual NBA App GM survey where they poll the decision-makers of franchises and ask them several questions about the state of the league.
The survey was made up of 50 questions regarding teams, players, coaches and offseason moves. General managers were not allowed to vote for their own team in order to eliminate biased results. Percentages are based on the pool of respondents to a question, rather than all 30 general managers.
The Oklahoma City Thunder were included in some of the final results. Let’s take a look at which question a Thunder player was mentioned in and received votes.
