Some may consider the greatest strength of this OKC Thunder team to be defense. Others might say roster depth.
However, above all else, it's their elite development skills that truly separate them from the rest of the pack, and, quite frankly, many of the all-time squads that have come before them.
This historically great trait was put on full display during Monday's 119-103 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
As a result of being short-handed due to a slew of injuries to several key players, such as Chet Holmgren (back), Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), and Aaron Wiggins (adductor), coach Mark Daigneault leaned rather heavily on both once-upon-a-time and current G League talents to log significant minutes to make up for their abundance of absences.
