NBA Summer League tips off in Vegas with 10 games and the OKC Thunder facing the Charlotte Hornets. Get to know the squad and prep for gameday.
Vegas is the home of sleepless nights, benders, entertainers of many kinds, regret, and gambling. Starting July 6 it is the home for the NBA Summer League. That is where the OKC Thunder, and every other NBA franchise will complete their summer games. We now know the team, so here are a few tidbits on each player.
Before we dive into the players what about the coaches? Mark Daigneault will pace the sidelines as the head coach for the OKC Thunder. Mark is the head man for the OKC Blue–The Thunder’s G-League affiliate. He also coached OKC Thunder summer league team since 2016.
Another name that is interesting is Will Chapman. The advanced scout for the OKC Thunder is a quick raiser. After spending time on the Houston Rockets staff in 2016, he made the move to OKC last season. Now, the Oklahoma Christian University alum hopes to one day be in charge of an NBA Sideline. At 27 he will sit on the OKC Thunder Summer League bench, and help grow the young players.
On to the players.
