He’s gonna find his way to an NBA roster within a year. All teams talk about defensive wings who can score a little. They should put up or shut up.

Maybe with the ever-changing NCAA rules, we can get him back to BU for another season.

Ha ha. Well, they are all pros now…

I think him linking up with OKC is both terrible in some ways and but also great eventually for him.

In the short run, getting picked up by arguably the best team in the NBA is not going to present the same opportunities as there would if he played with a bad team.

But it's great for him in the long run because he's getting so much more exposure versus riding the pine on the bench and playing 3 min a game on a bad team.

I believe you are right. OKC Thunder have a ton of young talent, so it's keeping Malevy at the G-League level. And that does give him the opportunity to play a lot and display his talents. With how well he is producing, he's in no danger of being released any time soon.
Also, he is on a standard G-League contract now, which means he'll get scouted by a lot of NBA scouts and could get signed by any other team in the NBA.
