OKC 1st round rookies 2 man game. Mara ➡️ Stirtz ➡️ Mara

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault showed up to Isaiah Joe’s golf tournament today and delivered a story about he and Isaiah’s first interaction after being sent from Philadelphia to OKC.

It’s going to be a rookie-heavy season around the league, even for playoff-caliber teams. For @SwishTheory:

@DParkOK You all clearly are similar heights from this video angle.

Asked Aday Mara about the growing connection between him and Bennett Stirtz, He mentioned that they had only had a few practices together but it’s getting easier:

It took 5 SL games, but these two finally got some PnR stuff going today.

Howdy @DParkOK

Mara just got the ball passed into him and Yaxel Lendeborg screamed “Hallelujah!” 🤣

This OKC SL team has zero playmakers. Aday Mara is establishing position and rolling into his spots but isn’t being looked at.

@alykaramazov Correct. He tore his ACL before the start of last season. Pretty standard.

@CrainNBA Always? 380 days of passed since he was drafted. We have never seen him wear the uniform.

Thomas Sorber, still recovering from his knee injury, is here in Vegas to watch his Thunder teammates.

@alykaramazov He’s hurt?

@CrainNBA He’d rather watch than play. Checks cash either way, right?

Yaxel Lendeborg is locked in videoing his former Michigan teammate, Aday Mara.

Effortless.

Former Thunder center Branden Carlson is here courtside to watch his old team.

Thunder’s Las Vegas Summer League opener is nearly underway against the Lakers.

Egor Demin joins Mikel Brown Jr.’s postgame media scrum at NBA Summer League.

Darryn Peterson jokes about his insanely high number of fouls tonight.

AJ Dybantsa. Man of the hour.

Anthony Davis is giving Darryn Peterson an ear full every time he’s in the vicinity courtside.

AJ Dybantsa has already figured out how to manipulate the NBA whistle.
