Preseason Preview: What to Watch for the OKC Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder are set to begin their preseason slate against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. Victor Wembanyama, Chris Paul, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort are all out but there are still plenty of reasons to watch. The Oklahoma City Thunder get their first look at how Isaiah Hartenstein plays with the Thunder. Will he shoot 3s? Will he play off of Chet Holmgren well? Hoe does Hartenstein look next to Isaiah Joe? Can Holmgren become a better scorer in year two? Will Jalen Williams shoot more 3s? What happens with Ousmane Dieng? Can Dillon Jones and Ajay Mitchell earn chances? Is Cason Wallace the OKC Thunder back up point guard?

In order to be an NBA player one has to believe they are a NBA player. I watched Oes in the G-League and he looked NBA ready and then he gets back on the floor in a NBA game and it wasn't the same guy. And I have to wonder if anything has changed because we are hearing about AJ in interviews, not Oes, and I truly believe we would have if he had made any improvements.
I think the player to watch is Dillion jones ❤
Random stats..Playoffs Block Leaders.. 1-*Holmgren 2.5. 2-E.Mobley.2.2. 3-*SGA 1.7… not only did Shai have the most total reg sea steals & FTM in NBA, he lead his playoff team in pts, reb, ast & 3pt% Shai always was a Blocks leader among Guards. Btw Shai's career playoff 3pt% is .433!!(39-90). Is there anything this Man can not do?
