Impressions so far after the first day?

10:58

Darnell Mayberry - A lot of good effort as it should be for a first day. A lot more talk about defense, which will be repeated throughout this preseason.

What will James Harden's role be to start the season?

Darnell Mayberry - I see him starting the season coming off the bench behind Thabo Sefolosha. I think 25 minutes for him this season will be about what he receives. And he'll space the floor with his perimetet shooting and every now and again initiate the offense with his playmaking skills.

Will Ibaka play or be sent to the D-league? I hear he's ripped.

11:03

Darnell Mayberry - He is quite the specimen. But, barring innjuries, I don't see him getting more than 10 minutes a game this season. And that's on the high end. He's so young and so raw that there is a lot of work to be done with him. Plus, he's playing behind Nenad Krstic, Jeff Green, Nick Collison and Etan Thomas. Expect him to see a good amount of time in Tulsa.
