Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Tre Mann on Sunday said he continues to get more comfortable with the team and playbook with each practice to this point of training camp.
Mann admitted he was a bit nervous ahead of his first preseason game last Monday, and his final stat line may have reflected that. He finished that contest with eight points, three steals, two rebounds and two assists on 1-of-7 shooting from the field.
With only one game under his belt, he said he is still getting a feel for the playbook.
For me, it’s just trying to get a feel for everything. I’m still learning the plays and trying to make the right plays because I’m a playmaker so right now I’m kinda getting a feel for it and trying to ease my way into it.
Mann responded on Sunday by producing nine points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal on 4-of-9 shooting from the field. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault thought Mann played with more confidence in the contest and liked what he saw from him.
Certainly, Mann will continue to improve the more he plays. He projects to be a player that can do a little bit of everything, and that should show as he progress through the season.
