Anthony Morrow said it on Thursday. Russell Westbrook backed him on Friday.



The Billy Donovan offense is opening up scoring opportunities for every Thunder player, not just the shooters.



“Definitely. Definitely more space," Westbrook said. "Guys are in positions where they can score the basketball. The space is especially good for myself and it’s also good for guys that shoot the basketball really well, roll to the basket, whatever it is, can use their strengths really well.”



Donovan said he's "really, really happy" with how the team is learning the new system.



“I’ve said this before: When you’re coming in and you’re putting new things in, they’ve had a real open mind," Donovan said. "They’re really, really bright in terms of the pace."



For the second day in a row, however, Donovan made a point to praise Westbrook and how he's grasped the schemes. But this time, the glowing remarks about his point guard were unprompted.



Donovan was only asked about the progress of the system and how the players were responding, but his answer quickly veered off into Westbrook recognition.



"With a guy like Russell (Westbrook), I probably could keep on going faster with the way he retains stuff," Donovan said. "He’s really, really bright and can really pick things up.”
