Good to know what the Thunder's developmental League has to offer and how the new players deal with. The Thunder management mentality, including coaches are to maintain a certain rotation in games that when the game is lost, then bring in the new recruits to get playing time. For me, why not give each and everyone the chance to show their wares on the court for coaches and manager to see for themselves their improvement as professionals and potentials in helping the team defensively and offensively. The question is; Will they be given that chance by their coach or will they be given their chance after two or more years as Brooks has done? These youngsters are eager to get going right away, just as the fact that Presti and the scouts had an eye on them for so long, but they should have an orientation on how to attain that chance going to the big league and not get stucked on the minor league.
