NBA Summer League 2022: OKC Thunder roster, schedule and everything else to know

Stop 1 of the Thunder’s Summer League tour tips off Tuesday in Salt Lake City.

The Thunder is one of four teams — along with the Jazz, Grizzlies and 76ers — that will compete in the three-day Salt Lake City Summer League before all 30 teams gather in Las Vegas for the main summer league event, which runs Thursday through July 17.

The Thunder on Monday released its Summer League roster, which includes second-year players Josh Giddey and Tre Mann, as well as all four recent draft picks: Chet Holmgren, Ousmane Dieng, Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams.

OKC’s roster for Salt Lake City and Las Vegas is the same, and it's expected that every player on the Summer League roster will play over the course of the next two weeks.

In Las Vegas, Holmgren will go head-to-head against the players selected directly ahead of and behind him: Orlando’s Paolo Banchero and Houston’s Jabari Smith Jr.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Thunder in Summer League:

'There are things at stake': Making sense of OKC Thunder's roster crunch before 2022-23 season

Thunder Summer League roster

► F Gabe Brown: Brown was a four-year player at Michigan State. Last season, he was an All-Big Ten third-teamer. He went undrafted.

► F Robert Baker: The 6-foot-11 forward played at Harvard from 2016-20. He played with the G League Stockton Kings last season.

► Ousmane Dieng: The Thunder traded into the 11th spot in the draft to select Dieng, a 19-year-old wing from France. Dieng played in Australia’s National Basketball League last season.

► G Abdul Gaddy: Gaddy is familiar with the Thunder, having played for the Blue. He’s also played professionally in Greece and Israel. At 30, he’s the oldest player on the roster.

► G Josh Giddey: The 19-year-old Australian is a team “veteran.” Giddey’s Summer League debut last year was cut short due to a sprained ankle.

► F/C Chet Holmgren: Holmgren will be one of the biggest draws in Las Vegas. He’s the crown jewel of the Thunder’s 2022 draft class.

►  G Vit Krejci: Krejci played in 30 games as a rookie last season. He had surgery on his left knee in April.

► G Tre Mann: Mann averaged 10.4 points as a rookie. The electric 21-year-old guard should be a Summer League standout.

► F Eugene Omoruyi: This will be the first look at Omoruyi in a Thunder uniform. He recently signed a two-way contract with OKC after a brief stint in Dallas last season.

► F Aleksej Pokusevski: Pokusevski didn’t play in Summer League last season, but he’s apparently on a different plan this summer.

► F/C Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Robinson-Earl made 36 starts in 49 games as a rookie. He’ll be one of OKC’s most experienced players in Summer League.

► G Jaden Shackelford: The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 15.2 points during his three-year career at Alabama. He joined the Thunder as a Summer League invitee after going undrafted.

► G Lindy Waters III: Norman’s and OSU’s own is entering Year 2 of his two-way contract. Waters shot 36% from 3-point range in 25 games for the Thunder last season.

► G Aaron Wiggins: Wiggins made a solid first impression last summer in Las Vegas. The 23-year-old wing is entering his second NBA season.

► G Jalen Williams: The Thunder drafted Williams (J-Dub) with the No. 12 pick. He was a relatively unknown prospect until his junior season at Santa Clara.

► F Jaylin Williams: The Arkansas Jaylin Williams (J-Will) is well known for his willingness to take charges. The Thunder selected him with the 34th pick.

► Assistant coach Eric Maynor: The former Thunder point guard is entering his second season as a Thunder assistant coach.

► Assistant coach Zach Peterson: Peterson is entering his fourth season as a Thunder assistant. He previously worked for the Bucks and Hawks.
