Four questions for four writers, previewing the start of another Thunder season with camp set to begin early next week.

1. Play the percentages: Chances Andre Roberson is the starting two-guard?

Darnell Mayberry (beat writer): Probably 90 percent. The Thunder is most comfortable with a defensive-minded player starting at that spot. It's largely been successful to this point, but it has at times become problematic in the postseason because of offensive limitations that accompany that strategy. That's why my preference would be Jeremy Lamb. Stick him in there, space the floor with his shooting ability and enjoy the impact another productive offensive player might have on the first five. But the Thunder doesn't trust Lamb's defense. In the team's defense, he's given them little reason to. Why not see if he can develop at the other end, though? Because sticking with what's worked (relatively speaking) in the past as opposed to figuring out ways to be better seems like a losing strategy.

Anthony Slater (beat writer): 55 percent. Because of his defense-first approach, he’s definitely the favorite. But it’s not a sure thing. We’re still talking about a wildly unproven NBA player. He was in the D-League most of his rookie year. And last we left the Thunder — even when Thabo Sefolosha got benched — Roberson was out of the rotation. He didn’t play a meaningful playoff minute. Things are lining up for him. But he has to win the job. Can’t be handed to him.
