Desmond Mason

Mason arrived in Oklahoma City in the offseason as part of a three-team trade. But whether it is a sweet homecoming for Mason, who played college ball at Oklahoma State, remains to be seen. His defensive acumen is highly valued, but his spot in the rotation is in question as the team has a glut of shooting guard/small forward types. His offensive opportunities likely will be limited, and he isn't one to fill up the stat sheet at any rate (he shot just 65.9 percent from the line last year). Mason's in the last year of his contract, which could mean a trade or reduced minutes if the team doesn't believe he's in the rebuilding plans. Even if Mason is a part of the future, he'll likely have to fight for minutes behind Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green.
