Beyond the on-court adjustments, there’s a roster question to answer in the week before the Thunder opens the regular season next Thursday at home against the Knicks.

Billy Donovan still has rotation decisions to make and offensive and defensive schemes to tweak. There’s lots of time to accomplish it all, with no game for eight days after Tuesday’s exhibition in Denver.

The preseason finale isn’t the end of season prep for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City has 14 players on guaranteed contracts. A 15th, Daniel Hamilton, is signed to a two-way deal that allows him to split time between the Thunder and its G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue.

Hamilton’s deal doesn’t count against the Thunder’s 15-man roster limit, meaning the team has an open spot.

That could go to Semaj Christon, OKC’s second-string point guard most of last season. His contract becomes guaranteed on Oct. 15, meaning the Thunder could waive him before that at no cost.

Christon has averaged 5.5 points in 14.1 minutes in two preseason games. He’s 3 for 11 from the floor. Christon is popular among the coaching staff for his energy and defense.
