To understand how Amanda Green became one of the voices that will help determine who the Thunder drafts next week, you only need to hear her shot clock story.
It happened about a decade ago when she was an undergrad at Duke and a manager for the basketball team. One night during a game at the fabled Cameron Indoor Stadium, the shot clock malfunctioned. Everyone seemed to be standing around hoping that someone could fix whatever was wrong.
Suddenly, Green dove over the scorer's table.
She'd used that shot clock at practice. Surely she could hit the right button or jiggle the right wire or do something to help.
