Malevy Leons Makes OKC Thunder Roster

Didn't see this make it out here yesterday, but former Brave and 2 time MVC Defensive Player of the year officially signed a 1 year contract with the OKC Thunder yesterday, signing on to the end of the bench.

I guess Ben Shepherd made it the previous year from Belmont as well, so it's good to see players from the MVC making it to the League and showing it can be done.

Congrats to Mal. Getting on the 15-man roster of a loaded team like OKC is no easy feat.

That's amazing. Defense is so damn important to professional teams at the highest level of the sport when filling out depth.

Two years in a row a MVC player has made it.

Three. AJ Green is a fringe rotation piece for the Bucks.

Former Drake player Liam Robbins is on the Bucks. Saw his first action yesterday.

Ben Sheppard put up 20 for the Pacers yesterday and Leons got his first NBA point and assist in the final minutes of OKC’s game last night.
