LAS VEGAS — The Oklahoma City Thunder signing Branden Carlson to a two-way contract not only gives them a complete steal, but based on his Summer League performances thus far, it adds a very necessary skill next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: A floor-spacing big man. Carlson has displayed some three-point shooting chops in Vegas, and that could be very useful for OKC.
