## Resource

Aday Mara, the 7’3” Spanish giant drafted 12th by the Oklahoma City Thunder, is already being hailed as the guy who can stop Victor Wembanyama — a massive rookie burden. Still adjusting to NBA life, Mara’s asking teammates to feed him in the paint and handle the defense, while soaking up experience in Summer League. In his debut against Memphis, he tallied 10 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 blocks — despite 3 turnovers — showing flashes of potential while staying patient with the league’s physicality. He’s focused on being a team contributor, not just a matchup specialist, as the Thunder gear up for their next Summer League game against the Atlanta Hawks.
