Undrafted out of Arizona State in 2019, the Montreal-born Dort willed his way into the league on defense alone and became Oklahoma City's premier perimeter stopper — the man handed the toughest backcourt assignment every night. That reputation earned him All-Defensive First Team honors in 2025, the same spring he won a title as a starter on the champion Thunder. His calling card is physical, low-to-the-ground on-ball pressure and a frame that absorbs bigger wings. The open question has always been his outside shot, and 2025-26 was a reminder of the volatility: he held his spot in the starting five across 69 games but slipped to a career-low mark from the field. Even in a down shooting year, his defensive floor keeps him a fixture on a contender — a role player whose worth rarely shows up in his own scoring line.

Did You Know?
Dort went undrafted in 2019 despite being considered by many scouts as one of the best defenders in his draft class — he was in the NBA rotation within months of signing a two-way deal with OKC.
He grew up in Montreal, Quebec, making him part of the remarkable generation of Canadian-born NBA players — alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray — who have reshaped the league's talent landscape.
Dort's wingspan is significantly longer than his listed 6'3" height, giving him the physical tools to contest shots and disrupt passing lanes against players considerably taller and longer than himself.
In the 2021 NBA Playoffs, Dort held James Harden — then one of the NBA's most unstoppable offensive forces — well below his season scoring average across multiple games, establishing his reputation as a true shutdown defender.
