Rylan Stiles (@Rylan_Stiles on Twitter) dives into the Oklahoma City Thunder game two of the NBA preseason against the Milwaukee Bucks. OKC Thunder rookie Jeremiah Robinson-Earl earns a spot in the starting lineup for tonight, what is Mark Daigneault's plan for the Thunder starting group? Will he start two rookies in JRE and Josh Giddey? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was incredible in his second game back, can SGA add to his game? Lu Dort catches fire from deep, what can he become in this league if his three-point shooting remains legit for Oklahoma City? Josh Giddey in his second preseason game showed an advanced trait. Darius Bazley is more aggressive with still room to improve. The Bucks were awesome. Tre Mann should make you encouraged for his development with OKC. Aleksej Pokusevski was Poku'ing. Mamadi Diakite got first-quarter minutes, should he make the team? How Mamadi making the team makes Sam Presti's life harder. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl was used in the Al Horford role offensively. SGA seemed to like the two-man game with JRE, and the stress that small ball defense puts on the team. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
