Whether it’s physically in the form of intricate pregame handshake routines or mentally in the film room and in huddles, Thunder players are as one with each other every day.
When Head Coach Billy Donovan took over the Thunder’s helm last spring, he spoke about the importance of an emotional commitment existing on the team between players. Despite how early it is in the season, it’s clear that Donovan and his coaching staff have helped foster the type of environment where teammates have the best interest of one another, and the group, in mind at all times.
“I believe that the best teams out there are the most connected teams,” Donovan explained.
