Andrew Schlecht

He's not going to play 30 minutes a night when Shea and J-Dub and A.J.

and Alex Caruso are all in the game.

But he's been ready, and he's stayed prepared.

He had some really big shots tonight.

And then Cason Wallace, career high in assists.

He had 10 assists.

He had 20 points, four boards, 10 assists, only one turnover to 10 assists with three steals, and guarded James Harden the entire time.

They matched him minute for minute.

It was pretty impressive to see him do that.

He's not thought of as one of the Thunder's young developmental guys, but he's only 22.

This is only year three for Kaysen, and he's continuing to show major progress.

And I thought today he was the best player for the Thunder.

I mean, I think so.

They really need to figure out the non-shame minutes anyways.

And so this gives them a very extended look.

There's always non-shame minutes in every single game.

That happens all the time.

But you don't usually get 48 minutes of it in consecutive weeks.

And so I do think that this is them trying to figure this out.

You're trying to get Jared McCain in the game and see what he can do.
