The OKC Thunder have had a shortened roster for a little while now. They assigned four players to the G-League including Aleksej Pokusevski, meaning that they had to replace solid rotation minutes.
The problem is that the Thunder have lost Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Theo Maledon to various niggles. This means that they have been playing without a true point guard for a number of games.
Looking at the numbers for Hamidou Diallo for the season against the last eight games, he is showing that he is willing to accept a greater role within the team structure.
