Former Pitt forward/center Talib Zanna continues to work hard in pursuit of an NBA contract. Recently, he was signed to a one-year deal by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He'll again get the opportunity to play alongside former Pitt center, Steven Adams.
The contract is a non-guaranteed one so it's not written in stone that Zanna will be playing in the NBA this year. However, what it does is keep him in the eyes of the coaches and also gets him some quality preseason practice time with the club.
Zanna didn't get to play in the NBA last season, but did have an impressive year as an undrafted free agent.
