The Oklahoma City Thunder held their second day on Wednesday. Following practice, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and players Jalen Williams and Lu Dort spoke with the media.
Daigneault offered his comments about Vit Krejci after the Thunder traded him to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Moe Harkless and a second-pick round along with amending another second-round pick.
Dort confirmed he’s worked with shooting coach Chip Engelland and Williams asked for food recommendations.
Here are some of the more noteworthy quotes and paraphrases from that media session.

Jalen Williams on if he’s getting used to being in OKC: “It’s definitely different walking into this practice (facility) than in college. There’s no Ferrari’s and stuff (in the parking lot). I don’t think I’m gonna get used to that.”
