Everything is going well on the pitch for the Thunder at the start of the season, since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his gang are the only franchise still undefeated (4 wins – 0 losses) in the Western Conference.
However, Isaiah Hartenstein is still in the infirmary, and we learned yesterday that Jaylin Williamsthe first rotation under the circle last year, had awakened his hamstring problem, which had kept him off the field since the preseason. As a result, he won't come back for four or six weeks…
Consequence: the franchise announced today released Alex Reese and signed a standard one-year contract Malevy Leonsa 25-year-old strong winger (2m06) who stood out for his defensive qualities in the NCAA.
The 25-year-old Dutch basketball player was twice named “Defender of the Year” in the “Missouri Valley Conference” with his university Bradley, where he averaged 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last year.
In preseason with the Thunder, he also displayed his defensive qualities, with versatility and an ability to “switch” which are almost mandatory to join Mark Daigneault’s training.
