On Media Day Eve, the Oklahoma City Thunder announced a set of transactions. The first being was claiming Mamadi Diakite off waivers, and the second being waiving Charlie Brown Jr.
Diakite was waived from the Milwaukee Bucks this past Friday. Our sister site, Brew Hoop, wrote about this and did a great job creating a player profile on the 24-year-old guard.
Essentially, Diakite is a bottom of roster NBA player who shows flashes of decency but, for the most part, struggles to play against pro competition.
Diakite spent four years playing at the University of Virginia and went undrafted in 2020.
