The Oklahoma City Thunder have once again landed steals out of the 2023 NBA draft after trading up for Kentucky guard Cason Wallace to select him 10th overall while also selecting Kansas State wing Keyontae Johnson in the 2nd round of the draft. Victor Wembanyama to the Spurs has been the talk of the draft but Sam Presti and the OKC Thunder front office are starting to complete their rebuild and are closing in on young pieces to support Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Lu Dort and the rest of the Thunder’s young core. The Thunder’s offseason will be interesting as they could make trades and offseason signings but step one was landing Cason Wallace and Keyontae Johnson.
The OKC Thunder are the NBA’s next dynasty at least on paper. They made the play-in tournament last season and looks like just a few pieces away from being back to NBA championship contention. To acquire Cason Wallace, OKC traded Dereck Lively to Dallas and in return, the Thunder received Davis Bertans and his huge contract. Now it will be seen if OKC once again emerges as big winners of the draft with their selections. Next season, Chet Holmgren is coming back, Shai just became an all-star and Jdub was a rookie of the year contender. But in this video, we’ll break down the games of both Cason Wallace and Keyontae Williams and how they fit the OKC Thunder.

Did you LIKE how the Thunder drafted this year??🤔
1st ❤
Great Draft by Presti once again. Got 2 Dawgs and winning players
All these steals and still no championships. OKC is always getting overrated
Presti = Goat
So we got a new Dort and Byron Mullens. Nice
I get tired of listening to these so-called basketball experts saying that the thunder is going to trade for Bradley Beal or some disgruntled Superstar like that it's not going to happen the thunder don't want their old has-been asses they are going to keep building from draft just like they are doing
Title should be "How do Haters keep hating Sam Presti when he is the goat"
im confused by all the new young players and rookies they keep hoarding, i think they need a super star and a veteran big man
Could you do a video on the new CBA if you understand it alot of fans are confused by it and think it won't affect us cause we drafted our payers but this is not the case.
Bro talks about Cason stealing the ball from keyontae our 2nd pick and calls him “a sloppy ball handler” come on man do better than that
sam pressure is crazy and im all for it
As a OKC/Nets fan I hope some players would go to my favorite teams.
I had cason wallace and jarace walker top 8 locks.
I had jarace at 5 and cason at 8.
I value 3&D way players way more than others.
But back to the point OKC rlly picked up sum key pieces. If they grabbed leanoard miller they coulda had just a lanky and lengthy team.
Cason wallace is easily all rookie 2nd team.
The reason I said 2nd cause the guard depth can limit Is playing time.
As an OKC fan since 2008, I am not happy with this pick….. idk if we needed a guard, we have insane potential in guards, I believe that small forward or power foward that could develop in the long run was better. Chet is big but not a big body which mean we need weight on the pain. 😅not a fan of the pick but a fan of the player. 😅
These two and KJ Williams we have three steals presti got this one right on money
Do you think there is a Paul George trade to OKC coming?
The disrespect Dort gets from people and leaving him out of any picture with the Thunder😂 they put chet and j dub over him like he Never paid his dues. Its ridiculous. Defense players get NO Respect. Hope they trade him and he wins a ring. Undeserving fan base
Building a very versatile and most unpredictable team in the NBA
