The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 89-78 in NBA Summer League action on Monday. Former Alabama guard Chris Youngblood was one of the main contributors to the Thunder's effort in Salt Lake City, registering 22 minutes and going 4-for-7 from deep while scoring 15 points.
Youngblood signed with Oklahoma City by way of an Exhibit 10 contract. He is vying to impress either the reigning NBA Finals champion or any other team that could be willing to give him an opportunity upon the conclusion of Summer League play.
He spent only one year at Alabama, averaging 10.3 points per game on a team that went to the Elite Eight. Youngblood was not selected in last month's NBA Draft; none of his teammates found themselves picked, but all received NBA opportunities.
