He is 6-foot-7 and 230 pounds, and that makes Josh Huestis a big person but a small forward.

Prototypically, at least, Huestis is built for the wing. But in the preseason, the Thunder used the third-year forward as a pick-and-pop power forward and even in some minutes at center.

“When I first came into the league it was much different even than it is today, obviously,” Huestis said Friday. “First coming in, three was pretty much my designated spot. But everything's changing. The four is changing. The five is changing.”

As those frontcourt positions change, it's possible that Huestis could see an increased chance to earn some minutes.
