Summer Feature: “Be a Star in Your Role”
At the conclusion of the Thunder’s 2016-17 season, Thunder General Manager and Executive Vice President Sam Presti spent time discussing the concept of winning on the margins. But what are some specific examples of that?
One of the ways the Thunder can make that happen heading into next season is through the continued development and improvement of players who have exhibited signs of being “elite role players”. Not every player in the NBA can be a superstar – one of those transcendent, all-around, multi-tooled performers that impacts the game in every facet. It’s just not realistic.
