Thunder Continue to Fill Out Training Camp Roster

NBA Training Camp is around the corner and one of the pressing issues around this time is typically roster construction. A year ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder felt this to the highest order needing to waive four players before opening night. Now, the Thunder have a vacant standard roster spot but all three two-way slots are occupied.

Still, the Thunder will fill out their training camp roster in order to have camp bodies for practice and even some intense stretches of games - including a three-game in a four-night span starting Oct. 7 - Oklahoma City will be shuffling exhibition ten contracts in and out throughout the preseason in preparation for the upcoming NBA G League season as well to help round out the OKC Blue roster.

Their latest signing is Alex Reese, a former Alabama Crimson Tide swingman who according to Michael Scotto spent the last year as a bartender before joining up with the G League affiliate for the Trail Blazers.

After playing with Rip City a year ago, the forward earned a chance to play with G League United in an overseas tour this summer where he averaged four points, two rebounds and 1.5 stocks per game.

Ultimately, the odds say this is a move to bolster the Blue more so than to compete for an NBA shot - the Oklahoma City Thunder have typically left that last spot vacant once they reached contender status.
