Overview
- Multiple reporters say the Thunder agreed to Exhibit-10 deals with Lamar Wilkerson and Nate Johnson, with outlets and Johnson’s agency confirming the moves on June 25.
- An Exhibit-10 is a one-year, non-guaranteed training-camp contract that can include a bonus if the player is waived and spends time with the club’s G League affiliate or be converted to a two-way deal.
- Wilkerson arrives from Indiana as a 6-foot-6 scoring guard who averaged 20.9 points per game and shot about 38% from three in his final college season.
- Johnson is a 6-foot-3 guard who averaged 12.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists at Kansas State and previously earned MAC Player and Defensive Player of the Year honors at Akron.
- Both players are expected to play in Summer League with the immediate goal of earning Oklahoma City Blue roster spots, training-camp invites, or two-way promotions, reflecting the Thunder’s low-cost development strategy for overlooked college talent.
