The NBA rookie class has shown varying levels of promise after one month of play, with teams hoping their young talents can translate potential into performance. The report card evaluates each team's rookies, focusing on those who have made significant contributions or are expected to do so.

Some standouts include Zaccharie Risacher of the Atlanta Hawks, who leads all rookies in minutes, and Dalton Knecht of the Los Angeles Lakers, who has emerged as a key player. Meanwhile, others like Ron Holland of the Detroit Pistons and AJ Johnson of the Milwaukee Bucks have struggled to make an impact.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are preparing for their upcoming roster decisions as they approach the deadline for finalizing their opening night lineup. Currently, they have an open standard roster spot while all two-way slots are filled.

Recent signings include Alex Reece, Chase Jeter, Buddy Boeheim, and others, but the team has already waived Reece and Jeter as part of their strategy to secure G League rights. The Thunder aim to finalize their roster with 14 standard contracts and three two-way contracts by the deadline.

The NBA regular season is on the horizon, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are evaluating their roster with seven players on two-way and Exhibit 10 contracts. These players, many fresh out of college, have been making their mark during the preseason.

Adam Flagler shone in the latest game, scoring 25 points against the New Zealand Breakers after a slow start. Alex Ducas showcased his defensive skills and had a solid game as well. Ajay Mitchell, the No. 38 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, demonstrated efficiency in scoring, while Cormac Ryan and Alex Reese are still finding their footing. Malevy Leons has shown promise with his versatile play, and Miller Kopp was recently waived after limited contributions.

The Oklahoma City Thunder secured a decisive 117-89 victory over the New Zealand Breakers, improving their preseason record to 2-1. Adam Flagler led the Thunder with 25 points, showcasing impressive shooting from beyond the arc.

Despite a strong start from the Breakers, who led after the first quarter, the Thunder's depth and scoring power allowed them to pull ahead, with Dillon Jones contributing significantly with 23 points and 13 rebounds.

The Thunder's three-point shooting was notably effective, hitting 41% of their attempts, while they managed to keep turnovers low. OKC will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming game against the Denver Nuggets.
