The Oklahoma City Thunder are in a good position for the upcoming 2023 NBA Draft. While they might not land a Victor Wembanyama or Scoot Henderson, the OKC Thunder have anything else in front of them, with Brandon Miller, Cam Whitmore, the Thompson Twins Amen Thompson, and Ausar Thompson offering the most upside. But which NBA Draft prospect fits what the Thunder are trying to build? We zero in on Gradey Dick, Jarace Walker, and Taylor Hendricks. Plus, Isaiah Wong is an elite second-round target for the highest upside in that range in the draft. What should be Sam Presti’s plan for the Bricktown boys in the upcoming NBA Draft? Can Oklahoma City trade up in the draft this season?

HA! I guess I'm a sicko then cuz I listened to the whole thing. That was a fun episode because I've really been struggling with OKC right now. Not sure what's the best move, tanking or blasting for a play-in. Honestly I really can see benefits for the PI even if we got bounced in the first round of the POs, I think it has value for our guys. But then, what to do about the draft. This is one of those years I'm super grateful we have Presti. AND if Detroit or Houston get in the top 5 on draft night, I'm going to throw something. They've had too many "bites at the apple" and still can't bring it together. It's OKC's turn at #1 pick!
Great content
Love the pod. Most of the time it’s Gambling promotions and advice tho with also some Thunder content. Mostly remember lockedon for gambling and also the thunder… it’s the constant gambling promos that are turning me off…
I think the best move this offseason is trying to get one really good draft pick through trade. We have too many picks in the midrange position in the draft. We gotta start making the push towards being contenders in the coming season. That means there’s a need for a rookie who can come in and contribute immediately to an area that the Thunder is lacking in. The Thunder really acquired a great quantity of talent in the last draft. Now they need just a little more quality to help round out the roster.
