The OKC Thunder is believed by many to have the best collection of young talent in the NBA, and it can now add to it.
OKC owns two picks in the 2025 NBA Draft, which is set for June 25-26. It acquired pick No. 15 from the Miami Heat and No. 24 from the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Thunder could have landed a third pick, which was the Philadelphia 76ers’ first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. It was top-six protected, and it landed at pick No. 3. The first overall pick went to the Dallas Mavericks, who will likely select Duke’s Cooper Flagg.
Here are several draft projections for the Thunder after Monday’s draft lottery:
