Ousmane Dieng on wrapping up preseason: “I feel like I’m already becoming a better player.”
Dieng’s play this preseason backs the quote up.

Man I don’t know how much weight Devin Vassell put on but it looks like Keldon Johnson just gave him the 20 pounds he lost over the summer, and Devin is using it. He’s been a totally different player thus far in the preseason. – 11:35 PM

Pregame, Pop said the plan is for Dominick Barlow to get most of his mins in Austin: “He’s at the beginning. He’ll spend some time in the G-League and play lots of minutes. If he was with us right now, he’s not going to get on the court that much which doesn’t help him develop” – 10:54 PM

Hard not to be excited about the performances of this young core if you’re an OKC fan.
And the two biggest perceived pieces of the core, SGA and Chet Holmgren, didn’t even play a minute. – 10:44 PM

Great game for Primo with 23 off the bench.
Keldon and Devin combine for 37 despite shooting 1-11 from three, solid outings from Tre, Jak and McDermott.
Spurs fall to OKC 118-112 in the final preseason tune up. – 10:41 PM

Poeltl before the game on the Spurs being able to switch with their new starting 5: “That’s a good thing to have, Keldon was guarding 4s for the most part last year anyway. Sochan’s very versatile, like I said, he can switch onto a 5 and hold his own.” – 10:41 PM

Keldon Johnson is going to do a lot of his damage out of dribble handoffs.
It’s a simple action that creates open threes and layups, but it also allows Keldon to explore his playmaking ability.

In his pregame session, Pop was wondering aloud if the Spurs had any players on the roster who went four years to college.
I helpfully pointed out they have one who didn’t even go four years to high school (Primo). – 6:21 PM

Apologies if this is already out there and I missed it: The San Antonio Spurs have signed Stephen Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was originally drafted by Orlando in the second round of the 2016 NBA Draft. – 4:50 PM

The Thunder closes out its six game preseason run in San Antonio tonight. The team will look to maintain its flow on defense and offense, while also making strides in other areas of the floor. @NickAGallo and @ParisNLawson provide today’s @OUHealth Game Day report 📝 pic.twitter.com/YLq0PTkLAE – 3:00 PM

Let’s say OKC fought for the play-in the last couple years, finished just outside and got the #14 pick.
Instead of Josh Giddey, they’d have Moses Moody.
Instead of Chet Holmgren, they’d have Ochai Agbaji.
…and that’s why none of these talking heads are GM of the Thunder. – 2:57 PM
