Thunder will use preseason to rebuild fundamentals like transition defense and spacing.
โThere's stuff that guys don't do all summer. They're not playing transition defense in the summer. They're not like spacing the way we space in the summer. And so getting those habits back is a big priority... And then for a lot of the guys tonight that are new, seeing their capacity and their baseline on executing that stuff. Because ultimately that's the stuff that we prioritize when we make rotation decisions as we get into the real season.โ
