The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Wednesday they have signed Hunter Maldonado and KJ Williams.
Presumably, these are Exhibit-10 deals to gain their G League rights and place them on OKC Blue’s roster.
Both played for the Thunder during summer league in July. They went undrafted in the 2023 NBA draft.
Maldonado played six college seasons at Wyoming, where the 24-year-old averaged 13.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and four assists for his career. Last season, he led Wyoming in points and assists while earning second-team all-Mountain West honors.
Williams played five college seasons — the first four at Murray State and his final year at LSU. He averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds for his career. Last season, the 24-year-old averaged 17.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals.
The OKC Blue is scheduled to start their season on Nov. 10. It’s safe to assume both Maldonado and Williams will be heavy fixtures on their roster for the entire season.
