OKC Thunder: Isaiah Roby growth delayed by the shutdown
After the OKC Thunder traded for Isaiah Roby he was assigned to their G-League affiliate the OKC Blue. The shutdown has impacted Roby’s growth.
The OKC Thunder traded Justin Patton to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Isaiah Roby. They moved on from a defensive-minded center to a 6’8″ combo forward with tremendous upside. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic stopping gameplay, Roby has not had the start with the Blue he hoped for.
Just eight games since his trade Roby has averaged 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. This stat line shows the versatility of Roby, his shooting percentages are impressive.
