The Spurs second team has obtained the ownership of the former Thunder backcourt star. Does he have the opportunity to attack a two-way contract?

According to Sports Illustrated Thunder reporter Rylan Stiles, the Thunder's NBA Development League team Oklahoma City Blue and the San Antonio Spurs' NBA Development League team Austin Spurs completed a deal. Oklahoma City Blue sent backfield player Adam Flagler's NBA Development League signing rights to the Austin Spurs, and the Austin Spurs sent backfield player Malachi Flynn's NBA Development League signing rights to the Oklahoma City Blue. In this deal, Oklahoma City Blue also received the first round pick of the Austin Spurs in the 2025 NBA Development League Draft and the second round pick of the Austin Spurs in the 2026 NBA Development League Draft.

Among them, Flagler was born in December 1999, is 25 years old, 191cm tall and 88kg. He is the undraft in the 2023 NBA Draft. Flagler has received two-way contracts from the Thunder and played for the team over the past two seasons. In the NBA regular season last season, Flagler made a total of 37 appearances, averaging 5.5 minutes per game, averaging 1.8 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.1 blocks, as well as 0.1 turnovers and 0.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 29.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 19.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 50%. Due to the limitation of playing time, Flagler's performance is also very average. He did not show any outstanding personal abilities, and his offensive efficiency is even more terrible.

Although his performance in the NBA are mediocre, Flagler's performance in the NBA Development League arena is still good. In the NBA Development League last season, Flagler played 4 games for the Thunder's subordinate team Oklahoma City, averaging 31.3 minutes per game, averaging 26.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2 steals, and 1.2 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 39.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 80%. In the previous NBA Summer League, Flagler played 5 games in total, averaging 18.8 minutes per game, averaging 9.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 34.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 30.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 80%. Although Flagler's offensive efficiency is not ideal in low-level games, his scoring ability is still quite good, and he can also play a certain effect in other aspects.

According to previous news, the Spurs provided Flagler with a training camp contract containing Exhibit 10. If nothing unexpected happens, Flagler will appear in the Austin Spurs' new season roster. Since Flynn has completed the signing with the Turkish team and will not appear in the NBA Development League at the beginning of the new season, this is also an important factor in the Austin Spurs' two future draft picks and Flynn's NBA Development League ownership to obtain Flagler's ownership. I wonder what kind of performance Flagler can perform in the NBA Development League in the new season, or will he have the opportunity to launch a two-way contract?
