Those who watch the Thunder were finally able to get a look at Josh Huestis this season. Savor it.
The 25-year-old came into Halloween night in Milwaukee with a handful of games in a row which looked promising to his signs of getting consistent minutes. Huestis also entered that night without his fourth-year option picked up by the Thunder.
As the deadline passed that night, Huestis played just six minutes. Despite a discouraged demeanor, he answered every question with grace after the Thunder's road win. How else could Huestis handle this season of limbo?
As he enters unrestricted free agency, Huestis has proven he can be an NBA player, but his stint as a Thunder rotation player may have been a short-lived glimpse of the tough circumstances that reserves face in the luxury tax era.
