Oklahoma City Thunder · 5 notes
Oklahoma City rookie Otega Oweh is out for the season. Kenrich Williams, after practice: "Yeah, it sucked. Like, it just like gives you a bad feeling... especially for a guy like him, like rookie, like was playing, was playing pretty good."
Cason Wallace will make the Thunder's biggest jump this season, Kenrich Williams says: "I'm calling it right now." Asked if Chet Holmgren's contusion, which kept him out all preseason, could linger, coach Mark Daigneault didn't commit: "I'll leave it to the injury report."
Kenrich Williams usually ends up guarding power forwards and sometimes centers, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said at practice Oct. 9. On offense, Daigneault called him a system player who keeps the ball moving, and said his quality as a player can be overlooked.
Ajay Mitchell, Jared McCain, Kenrich Williams, Brooks Barnhizer, the rookies and camp invites get a long look Oct. 6 with the Thunder's regulars resting. Mark Daigneault: "it gives us a good indicator of where these guys are after a week of camp."
From Thunder practice: Jalen Williams says he enters the season "Super healthy. Shot feels amazing." He says he is stepping into an "older-ish guy vet role." Kenrich Williams says newcomer Aday Mara has potential to be "a first-team, second-team, all-defensive type of guy."
