Thunder's James Harden still with second team

NOTHING NEW YET

Brooks and his staff have yet to add new sets and schemes offensively or defensively.

“We're just going over some of the staples that we've had offensively and defensively,” Brooks said. “We haven't put in too many new things. Some new drills, but eventually when we get everything down the way we want it we will add things to our team.”

Following the team's Finals loss, Brooks expressed a desire to develop a zone package this season. The Thunder historically has relied solely on man-to-man defense.
