Two OKC players make All-Summer League first team

If you followed the Orlando Pro Summer League, it should be little surprise that two OKC players made the All-Summer League first team.

Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green impressed the crowd in Orlando, with many picking Westbrook as the unofficial MVP of the league. Westbrook finished the league by averaging 16.5 points and 3.5 assists per outing. Green led OKC in scoring by logging nearly 23 points game and finishing with 20 or more points in three of the four games in which he played. Coming off a season where Green was named as a first-team All-NBA Rookie, joining teammate Kevin Durant on the squad.

Speaking of rookies, don't forget the play of D.J. White, who was a first-round pick by Detroit at #29 overall, then sent to Seattle. White exploded against the Chicago Bulls on the last day in Orlando, notching 20 points to lead OKC to an impressive 86-73 victory.

Overall, the young talent on display in Orlando should give OKC fans plenty of reasons to be excited ... as if Oklahoma having an NBA team wasn't exciting enough already.
