MBB | Ducas Signs Two Way Deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder

OKLAHOMA CITY — Following the culmination of the 2024 NBA Draft, longtime Gael Alex Ducas has signed a two-way deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. A two-way contract allows for a player to play for both the NBA and the G League while being under the control of an NBA franchise for the duration of the season. The Thunder are no strangers to the Saint Mary’s players, with Logan Johnson playing for their G-League Affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue after being selected by the Blue in the 2023 G-League Draft.

Ducas spent five seasons in Moraga, setting the program record with 150 games played. The Geraldton, West Australia native scored 1,353 points throughout his illustrious career, appearing in three NCAA Tournaments in five seasons. Known for his incredible three point shooting accuracy, he finished second all-time in program history with 278 three pointers made, and 11th in program history with a 40.6% three point shooting clip. 

Ducas will now begin the path that he hopes will lead him to the NBA, where he would join the likes of Frank Kudelka, Tom Meschery, Peter Thibeaux, David Cooke, Patty Mills, Matthew Dellavedova, Malik Fitts, Jock Landale, and Jordan Ford, the nine players who have appeared in an NBA contest out of Saint Mary’s.
