The Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> have little time to dwell on their shortcomings. They fell in a Game 7 loss to the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>. But the NBA’s year-round business has every team focusing on one thing or the other. Right now, it’s the upcoming draft cycle.<\/p>\n

For the Thunder, they continue to enjoy the best of both worlds \u2014 contending for a Larry O’Brien trophy and doing their homework for a lottery addition. They will enter the 2026 NBA draft with three draft picks \u2014 No. 12 via the LA Clippers<\/a>; No. 17 via the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>; and No. 37 via the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One prospect the Thunder have met with in a predraft workout is Houston<\/a>‘s Emanuel Sharp. He posted on social media being at their practice facility. He played in four collegiate seasons from 2022-26 on the Cougars. He averaged 15.5 points on 41.3% shooting, three rebounds and 1.7 assists in 37 games this past season. He shot 37.2% from 3 on 7.1 attempts.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is a 6-foot-3, 205-pound guard. Most NBA mock drafts have him going in the second round or undrafted. Which means if the Thunder like him enough, they could go for a reach and grab him with the No. 37 pick. Or wait things out and add him to some sorta Summer League deal.<\/p>\n

The 2026 NBA draft will take place from June 23-24. The Thunder will look to add more young talent to their roster to keep their contending window open as long as possible around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a>, Chet Holmgren<\/a> and Jalen Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n
