Young Thunder ballhandlers learning
The Thunder has used the Summer League to get its young wing players opportunities to play with the ball in their hands more. The result was six turnovers in the first seven minutes against Memphis.
Like the senior team, the Thunder's best offense is its defense leading to fast break opportunities. OKC's first-half highlight came when rookie Hamidou Diallo snared a defensive rebound and went coast-to-coast for a dunk early in the second quarter to cut Memphis's lead to two.
