Answering the three best questions submitted to this week’s mailbag.
The 2024-25 season is just a few weeks away, but the work needs to start now for the Oklahoma City Thunder to make a championship push in the upcoming campaign. Especially with new faces on the roster who are expected to play significant roles, training camp and the preseason are of extreme importance for this squad.
A five-game preseason slate is set to kick off on Monday, with roughly a week of camp under Oklahoma City's belt. While there aren't big roster decisions to be made during training camp -- which was the case the past few seasons -- this is still an opportunity to build chemistry and ensure a strong start to the regular season later this month.Who Has the Most to Gain in Training Camp?
I think the easy answer here is Ousmane Dieng, especially given he’s entering a pivotal third season and continues to be squeezed out of the rotation as time goes on. He’s the size and archetype of player that in theory could be extremely helpful for the Thunder, but hasn’t yet gotten to a point where he is able to contribute on a consistent basis. Proving he’s taken a step forward in camp and in preseason action could be a big momentum and confidence builder for him.It’s unlikely.
