The NBA regular season will tip off in just under two months with the OKC Thunder getting their start on October 23 at Utah. In preparation of that date, training camp and the preseason players are working on their games and the coaching staff dissecting how the Thunder will mesh the returning players with the new additions.
One clear change this season will be a younger squad almost a year younger by team average (25.0 years). Additionally, with the loss of two featured superstars, the system will need to be revamped into more a team-oriented offense.
A point of contention during the Donovan years was the cookie cutter offense without much variation or options.
