Deonte Burton, the latest addition to the OKC Thunder roster, is in a unique position. Fans have shown him love since he first entered the Thunder organization. And, he made a name for himself in the G League before being called up as a full time team member, but he lacks significant playing time both with and against the big boys.
Burton hasn’t sat idle, however. He kept his ball skills sharp as a leading player for the Oklahoma City Blue, OKC’s G League team, and earned his opportunity to secure a full time roster spot with the Thunder.
