Jon Chepkevich reports that Mady Sissoko has a Summer League contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder.



The Thunder will play 3 games in Salt Lake City on July 5-8 (schedule) and at least 5 games in Las Vegas on July 10-20 (schedule).

Summer League rosters have not been announced yet, but so far we know that, in addition to Sissoko, the following undrafted rookies have made deals with the Thunder:

Zack Austin (Pittsburgh)
Erik Reynolds II (Saint Joseph's)
Payton Sandfort (Iowa)

And the OKC draft picks, if healthy, will also play on the Summer League team:

Thomas Sorber (Georgetown)
Brooks Barnhizer (Northwestern)

Mady and Wilkerson were my fav players on last year's team

Coming to Cal was the best thing he could have done for his career, as he steadily improved, and Coach Madsen was the perfect coach for him

In the early part of the season I would have said no way Mady could make it in the NBA. But he did improve a lot, and now seems like a "maybe" to be the 2nd or 3rd center (albeit a short one, by NBA standards) on a roster. A silver lining in a pretty meh season.

Day 3 - Too many fouls as Jazz' Filipowski goes crazy - 18 pts and 15 rebounds (although 9 turnovers). I presume (without watching) that Mady's fouls and turnovers were a result of playing against Filipowski.

Mady:
14:04 minutes
3 of 6 from field
7 rebounds - 4O, 3D (led team even with short minutes)
0 assists
1 steal
1 block
4 turnovers (!)
6 fouls (!!)
and yet, he was +6 for the game

Barnhizer had 6 rebounds, 12 points and a +22, and was drafted #44.

There are more summer league games now in Vegas. But, if Mady can't stay in a game, he is not staying in the NBA.
