The Oklahoma City Thunder have the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Is this a spot for Dereck Lively II? Can the OKC Thunder use a true big man? Will the OKC Thunder look to Lively as a buy-back into the first-round candidate? Could Lively II and Chet Holmgren fit together? Is the Duke big man a true stretch big? Is the demand for a big man a bit of an overcorrection by the Bricktown faithful? Can OKC find better value at pick 12? When will Sam Presti shift his archetype?

if we grab him at 12 I wont be mad. solid future backup to Chet when we can get our guy next draft or trade for a guy. but I understand in the lottery your supposed to draft on upside in the lottery so I doubt we get him anyway
Derick Lively and Chet can both guard the 1-5 and block everything. We have the best shooting coach that will turn Lively into the biggest prize. They would be blocking everything. 😂 I think he's the best insurance for Chet and can be great roll player worst case we don't get next best 3-point shooting big and have to settle for Tyson Chandler 2.0
OKC should grab 3 for this draft and only 1 for next draft.
Gradey Dick or Dereck Lively II
Jordan Hawkins or Keyonte G
Bilal Coulibaly or Leonard Miller
Brandin Podziemski or Sidy Cissoko… Just 3 of any of these guys would be my fantasy come true for this draft. 😂❤
They should take a flyer on Emoni Bates second round
Even though I highly doubt okc draft if we do I be disappointed
he is Tyson chandler
The major problem is we have a tasty choice at our pick, let alone if Sam moves up a few slots to perhaps 8 or 9, or 10. And don’t be floored if Sam makes an out-of-character Porzingis, as unlikely as it now seems. How about Bilal? Special!
