OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Oklahoma City Thunder have added three rookies to their roster prior to the start of training camp.

Former Baylor guard Tweety Carter, former Connecticut guard Jerome Dyson and swingman Elijah Milsap from UAB will be with the Thunder when they open training camp Tuesday.

They'll be trying to win a job away from one of the 15 players that already make up a full NBA roster for Oklahoma City.

The Thunder also announced that former Oklahoma Sooner Longar Longar has been added to the training camp roster. Longar played in the Developmental League last season, averaging 6.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Three players the Thunder acquired from the second round of this year's draft will not participate in training camp.

Center Tibor Pleiss and forwards Ryan Reid and Latavious Williams remain unsigned.

Oklahoma City would have to sign them to contracts for them to go through training camp, but would have to waive them if they didn't make the 15-man roster.
