The Summer Show:

RaShawn Thomas took the floor on July 6th with no one really knowing anything about him. When he stepped on the hardwood in Vegas his fro, held up by a bright white headband stood out.

Thunder fans left Vegas knowing exactly who the Oklahoma City native is. Thomas turned a lot of heads, including mine. He was active on the glass, and the defensive end of the floor. He was always in the right position on defense, swatting shots like he was at a summer block party, and turning defense into offense.

Not to mention his quick hands which generated a few steals this summer. Offensively he did more than just hold his own. Always scoring in double figures for the Thunder his impact was huge. Thomas arguably had the best (or at least most consistent) NBA Summer League for the OKC Thunder.

The Thunder have just one two-way deal left after handing one out to Deonte Burton. Thomas played like he deserves that last slot.
