Can Brooks Barnhizer make the team?

I wrote about whether Brooks Barnhizer can earn a roster spot on next year's Thunder team after playing on a two-way deal this year. Let me know what you think on NorthwesternRoundtable:

I still can't believe the Thunder got Jared McCain for nothing

It remains stunning to me that the 76ers decided to sell low on Jared McCain, who was so clearly going to be a good player. Now, even if he doesn't end up developing into a star, the Thunder have an electric shooter off the bench.

Thunder are unbeatable when the bench plays like that...

The reigning champs are very hard to beat on any given night. When the bench eclipses 60 points, they're virtually unstoppable.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Is On A Tear

Ok, so the title is about as obvious as it gets. The MVP has gone 126 games in a row scoring at least 20 points. But not only is he consistent and just getting it done, he's breaking hearts in the process.

How much better are the Thunder with Jared McCain?

I don't think there's any doubt that the Thunder did get a little bit better by adding McCain to the roster. He's young, versatile on both ends of the court, can shoot and can obviously run the point when SGA goes to the bench.

Before adding him, the Thunder didn't really have another point guard to facilitate the offense. McCain obviously isn't going to do what SGA does, and they're very different players, but if McCain can run the second unit without turning the ball over and knock down a few threes in the process, then yes, the best team in the NBA just got even better.

It's raining threes in Denver!!!

It looks like the Thunder are going to hang on to win the game as they're up 118-103 right now with just under four minutes to play, but what stands out about this one is the amount of threes going in.

Both teams are filling it up from distance with the Thunder making 19 treys, and the Nuggets making 15. Cason Wallace got really hot during the third quarter and is up to a career high, 7 threes made. The game isn't over yet and they are still letting it fly.

Chet Holmgren is playing more at the 4 than he ever has before

Throughout his rookie season, Chet Holmgren spent 100% of his minutes playing center. That all changed in year two, when the Thunder signed free-agent big man Isaiah Hartenstein during the offseason.

Since that addition to OKC's roster, a lot has changed for Chet positionally, as he spent 64% of his minutes at center and 36% at power forward.
