The OKC Thunder tipped off their Summer League on Friday. This tournament offers a chance for players to prove their worth and earn a contract. Deonte Burton did just that.
Deonte Burton is participating for the OKC Thunder summer league team. It usually takes more than one game for a player to earn his way onto the roster, and this move coming so soon leads me to believe that a contract was in the works for a while.
Burton didn’t really impress in the Summer League opener. The 6’8 position-less player turned in two points and four assists offensively.
