Oklahoma City Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs: Players to watch

Chet Holmgren: After missing the entire season, Holmgren's rookie year was postponed. He has looked sharp in the NBA Summer League, averaging 20.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. His last performance against Indiana resulted in 25 points, nine rebounds and five blocks.

Ousmane Dieng: The French basketball player has been impressive as he looks to sharpen his skills entering his second year in the league. In the Thunder's last match against the Indiana Pacers, he delivered with 22 points, nine rebounds and six assists.

Domnick Barlow: This center has been a pleasant surprise for the Spurs as in his last game against the Detroit Pistons, he tallied 19 points and 11 boards. So far, so good but another good game will make him a case for the Spurs to think about rostering the big man.

Blake Wesley: The former Notre Dame Fighting Irish star has been fantastic in the NBA Summer League with the positives outweighing the points of improvement. He struggled against the Pistons shooting only 3-of-17 from the field to finish with 10 points but was able to dish out eight assists in the loss.
