LAS VEGAS -- The burst is so obvious, the crowd at the Cox Pavilion on UNLV’s campus held their breath a bit whenever Hamidou Diallo had the ball with space to move. The energetic and bouncy rookie guard is one of many players the Thunder gave a test run to on Saturday afternoon, and is a player the team believes can develop some core skills to go with his outstanding athleticism.
In fact, some of that fine-tuning was evident in the Thunder’s 90-76 win over the Brooklyn Nets in Game 2 of the Thunder’s Summer League.
