The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to sign guard Alex Abrines to a three-year deal worth $18 million, sources confirmed to ESPN.com.The agreement was first reported by EuroHoops.net.Abrines, 22, was selected 32nd overall by the Thunder in the 2013 draft but remained with FC Barcelona for the past three seasons. Last season, he won the Euroleague Rising Star award (top under-22 player in Europe), topping 76ers lottery pick Dario Saric for the honor. Past winners include Ricky Rubio, Danilo Gallinari and Nikola Mirotic.Abrines signed a long-term deal with Barcelona last year through 2019 and will have to pay a $2.2 million buyout to be released from his contract. The Thunder are allowed to contribute $650,000 toward the buyout.The Thunder have been high on the 6-foot-6 Spanish guards development the past couple of seasons, but Abrines was not expected to join the team this season. However, with the departure of Kevin Durant, both cap space and apparent playing time has opened the door for Abrines to make the jump. His signing also likely signals the likely end of Dion Waiters tenure with the Thunder. Waiters, 24, is a restricted free agent, and has yet to ink an offer sheet with anyone, but unless the deal is a bargain, the Thunder are unlikely to match.Without Durant, the Thunder are in desperate need of perimeter shooting, and Abrines is known primarily as a marksman -- he hit 41.7 percent from 3 last season for Barcelona -- but has a well-rounded offensive skill set and sneaky athleticism. His struggle will likely be on the defensive end, as scouts have said he needs to get stronger to guard at the NBA level.Abrines will compete for Spain in the upcoming Olympic Games in Brazil.

If senior forward Nigel Hayes wants to show off his unselfish side, Wisconsin coach Greg Gard is more than happy to let the veteran assume some on-court leadership for the No. 17 Badgers.Hayes registered 9 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists in the Badgers 77-60 win against No. 22 Syracuse five days ago. Hayes missed a free throw during the final minute of the game that would have secured a triple-double performance. The only Badgers player who accomplished the feat was guard Josh Gasser, who scored 10 points and had 10 rebounds and 12 assists in a win against Northwestern in 2011.Gard likely expects more of the same type effort from Hayes when Wisconsin (6-2) finishes the week with its third game in six days as it hosts Oklahoma (5-1) on Saturday at noon central at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wis.Probably one thing thats overlooked a lot with him and doesnt get talked about as much or enough is his ability to pass and his vision, Gard said. He just made things go and he made a difference. That was kind of the plan coming in, to try to touch him as much as possible and let him facilitate and make plays from there.Hayes is third in team scoring at 11.3 points per game, but a slew of his assists against the Orange were from feeding the ball inside to sophomore forward Ethan Happ, who scored a game-high 24 points. Happ is the Badgers rebounding leader at 9.9 per game, and he contributes 13.4 points per contest.Senior guard Bronson Koenig is Wisconsins scoring leader at 15.1 points per game. Koenig is fresh off a strong effort, in which he was 6 of 7 from beyonnd the arc against Syracuse.ddddddddddddMeanwhile, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger did something earlier this week that he hasnt done in three years: Made a change in the Sooners starting lineup. Freshman forward Kristian Doolittle was replaced by redshirt freshman Matt Freeman in Tuesdays game against North Colorado.Doolittle, who averaged 7.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in five starts, did not sit for long. The freshman entered four minutes in and scored a career-high 17 points and had five rebounds in 18 minutes during the 87-66 home win against the Bears.Doolittle is second in team rebounds with 6.2 rebounds per game, and contributes 9.1 points per tilt.Kristian is going to be a really good player, Kruger said of Doolittle, who shot 7 of 8 from the field. It was good to see him attack more when he came out. Weve been wanting him to do that. He can make good plays off the dribble. Hes very strong and powerful when he goes to the rim. He looked comfortable.Senior guard Jordan Woodward also had a strong effort against Northern Colorado, contributing 15 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.Woodward and senior guard Khadeem Lattin are two returning starters for the Sooners, who reached the NCAA Final Four last season. Three seniors departed Oklahoma and were picked in the NBA draft.Woodward, who is averaging a team-leading 17.0 points, shot 45.5 percent (80 of 176) from beyond the arc as a junior. Lattin adds 6.7 rebounds and 11.5 points per game. ' ' '
