Last week the OKC Thunder sent Justin Patton to get some burn with the club’s G-League affiliate OKC Blue. It was a practical decision since he was simply taking up space on the sidelines not getting any run in games. By sending him to work with the Blue it would afford him an opportunity to keep his rhythm and better learn the Thunder system since both squads utilize the same principals.
The stay turned out to be a short one (two games) as the organization announced they have recalled him to the varsity team. During his quick stint with the Blue the center started both games amassing an average of six points, six rebounds, 4.
