Some early roster announcements:


Mike Cobbins, (PF) Oklahoma State
Quinn Cook, (SG) Duke - Orlando Summer League for Thunder; may play for Cleveland in Las Vegas Summer League.
Undrafted Duke guard Quinn Cook expected to play on Thunder summer league team (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/thunderextra/undrafted-duke-guard-quinn-cook-expected-to-play-on-thunder/article_889307c2-c68c-59a1-b5ef-4c92b87e5837.html)

Semaj Christon, (G) Xavier
Josh Huestis (F) Stanford
Dakari Johnson, (C) Kentucky

Cameron Payne (PG) Murray State TBD...

I think Josh Huestis is out due to a pectoral muscle tear.

Semaj Christian has a chance to be a contributor at some point. I think he could be pretty good.

Well, considering we just drafted a third string PG, his best case is third string PG in 2016-17. Not a good situation for a PG who needs playing time to grow.

Yes, but recall some of the PG play we had last season due to injury, etc. DJ will be in his final contract year. Just never know how a roster will shake out. I'm not saying he is going to be getting a lot of playing time but of those players he listed above I will be interested in seeing how he plays in the summer league.

Augustin was the PG you could count on to settle the team down especially when the game appeared to get away. He played with K.D. @ UT, so let's hope there'll be some continuity between the 2 when they reunite.

Has there been any updates on Cameron Payne's finger injury; if he has been cleared to play in the Orlando Summer League?

I don't think he was expected to participate in the summer league due to the finger fracture.

They said they would have a medical evaluation this past Monday and make a determination if he would play in Orlando. I noticed during the press conference his finger was not in a splint or anything.

Payne officially out of the summer league (per A Slater).

Game winner and double double first game. :)

Seeing a Thunder team that (OSL) the passes the ball should give fans much encouragement. They methodically broke down and dismantled the Orlando Blue team 73-65 which had some individual players with promise.

The OKC team was without 2 key players (Cameron Payne & Josh Heustis). Mitch McGary looked like a veteran among rookies; he has improved on his game, he'll be just as savvy among veterans.

You can bet Billy Donovan influence has already been felt among this organization as evidenced by the play of the rookies.
