The start of the NBA season is just five days away and the Thunder still have to make decisions about the roster. At present, Oklahoma City have 18 players under contract on the roster; the rules established by the NBA only allow for 15 players to be on the roster at any one time. The first two games of preseason have been useful in identifying which players make sense for the Thunder going forward.
Preseason games are not necessarily the best indicator of talent; the lower intensity can mean that the true performance levels of a player are distorted.
