Oklahoma City general manager Sam Presti traveled to Stillwater on Thursday to watch the Oklahoma State Cowboys practice.
Presumably, Presti was there to scout Marcus Smart and Le’Bryan Nash.
Smart, a 6-foot-3 point guard, is averaging 13.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks through his first five games, bringing immediate leadership and a defensive mentality that’s rubbed off on those around him.
The 6-foot-7 Nash is a talented wing scorer who excels at getting to the rim and finishing in a variety of ways.
