Storylines to Follow

How long will Dillon Jones play in Summer League?

The rookie guard has been stellar in his Summer League debut in Salt Lake City, even if the box score did not always reflect the impact made on the court as an all-around player. Jones played at his own pace, hauled in rebounds, created shots for himself and others and overall looked the part.

Having already played three Summer League games, how many more does Jones have left? Typically players graduate from the summer circuit quickly when they play at Jones' level, three games is already enough credit hours to earn a degree, when will he walk the stage?

Another test for Ajay Mitchell

The Oklahoma City Thunder played an entire game with Mitchell as the offensive engine, now he will continue to be the driving force for Daniel Dixon's squad who takes over the bench boss role for the Summer Thunder from Kam Woods.

Mitchell was able to get into the paint with ease becoming the perfect drive-and-kick guard with the Thunder's system. It will be interesting to see how he handles the offense in Vegas.

Keyontae Johnson battling for a spot

Johnson spent the entire 2023-24 season on a two-way pact after being selected in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft. The Kansas State product dominated in the G League to clean the glass, run in transition, knock down triples, finishing at the rim and improve his playmaking chops.

This offseason, Johnson became a free agent, and the Thunder project to have all two-way spots filled but still feature an open standard roster spot. The Summer League wil be a showcase for Johnson both for the Oklahoma City organization and others.

Adam Flagler splashing triples

Flagler signed a multi-deal two-way pact with the OKC Thunder back in February, the Baylor product won a National Championship with the Bears and immediately came in to right the Blue's season and win a G League championship, the organization's first.

The sharpshooting guard has a knack for nailing shots from beyond the arc, high-end playmaking ability and as he gets further removed from last year's knee injury Flagler improves defensively.
