Malevy has two DNP's out of three games so far in the Summer League. That's not a good sign for his chances of making the roster in OKC.

That roster is stacked. I'm hoping he lands on their G League squad. He's not the type of player that wows you. He's not flashy but his game gains respect over time because he hustles and plays very good D. That's will be what gets him to the NBA.

Mal played just 4.5 minutes and had 0's across the board tonight against Toronto.

I would be more than shocked if Malevy ever played a minute in an NBA game.

I would be more than shocked if Malevy ever played a minute in an NBA game. Yea I was being nice. I agree. Earlier posts there were a few posters who believe he has a chance. I thought he should probably head to Europe for his pro career. NBA has to be the toughest league to crack besides if your last name is James.

I still think he has a chance, and am not reversing it based off about 20 minutes of play. Though it does signal he has a lot of guys to leapfrog in the OKC pecking order, and their NBA roster is stacked and young both. He’s both 24 and needs to add bulk, so needs to both get some run in G league somewhere, and show he hasn’t topped out developmentally fast as well, to make it work. If it doesn’t work out that way, he’ll have nice options back at home too.

Malevy getting some good run tonight and making some plays. The announcers said he was the two time DPOY out of the "Mountain Valley Conference."

That's impressive - so good he was voted that in a league he didn't even play.

Thought I’d share the highlight vid. Hits a crazy three at the start and has a nice sequence at 4:28. youtu.be/26TgQCiaFZQ

Mal has not yet officially been released by the Thunder or signed to a two-way contract. But his name has surfaced as an available player on the EuroBasket database this week.
Gordon Hayward announced his retirement earlier this month, freeing up one roster spot for a forward.

Cool! Looks like it's a renewal of the Exhibit 10 deal and he'll spend the season with their G-League Oklahoma City Blue, who were last year's G-League champions.

Yeah, that’s where it’s leading, but he’s one of 20 in camp for a team expected to contend for a title, so that’s a pretty cool place to be. Guarding Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams in camp will probably show you where you are at and what you need to work on.
