4. The Thunder’s draft picks were solid
Besides Hamidou Diallo’s 19 points against the Brooklyn Nets, there was not much noise from the rookies that the Thunder drafted.
For the entire Summer League, Diallo averaged 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game for the Thunder. Fellow second round draft pick Devon Hall averaged 7.8 points and 1.2 assists per game, while. Kevin Hervey posted 7.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.
These players were not the focal point of the Thunder’s team in Summer League as they took a backseat to more veteran players from the Blue. However, they had their moments that they’ll be able to carry forward into training camp.
They probably won’t get playing time right away because of the fact that they are second round picks and the Thunder don’t typically give second-rounders a lot of playing time. These rookies, after having a season of the Blue under their belt, could be the next three players that dominate in Summer League next time around.
