It’s no secret that the back-up PG position was a huge weakness for this team this past season. From the beginning of the season the Thunder kept trying to find stability from that spot.
First Ronnie Price was signed to a two year deal in August of 2016. He was brought in to be a veteran guard that could come in and not mess the game up. Fast-forward a couple of months and the Thunder cut him in an effort to trim the roster down to the required 15 players. His release showed that the Thunder were confident in Cameron Payne returning from his injury at a high level and Semaj Christon being able to hold the fort down in the mean time.
