When the Thunder drafted Josh Huestis in 2014 and told him it planned to stash him in a developmental league for a year, the forward wasn’t discouraged.
“It was intriguing to me,” Huestis told The Oklahoman last week. “It had never been done before, and my path in this game has never been ordinary. I looked at it as an opportunity to carve my own path, be a trailblazer in a way.”
This is a significant week on that trail he’s blazed.
Four years into the experiment, Huestis is seeing rotation minutes for the first time with the Thunder, which now faces a decision about his future.
