Mara is set to contend with Jaylin Williams for the backup center job behind Isaiah Hartenstein during training camp.

Analyse

The possibility of a bigger opportunity went by the wayside once Hartenstein re-upped with the Thunder this offseason, but the door is still open for Mara to have an impressive camp and stake a claim for an Opening Night role. The rookie No. 12 overall pick averaged 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks in 23.9 minutes per game over five Summer League appearances.
