While the preseason isn’t always a good barometer for regular season play, it can allow teams to discover who has a good feel for the system and who can play a role moving forward.
The Oklahoma City Thunder got at least two games out of 16 players. Six members of the team — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Aleksej Pokusevski, Isaiah Roby, Frank Jackson, Hamidou Diallo and Kenrich Williams — played all three games.
Ty Jerome, Josh Hall, Darius Miller and Trevor Ariza did not play.
Take a look at how the players performed. While the Thunder’s talent level is still unclear, there were some strong performances from young players who could take on roles early in the season.
