The NBA Draft is finally here, meaning we will soon find out the newest member of the OKC Thunder. Here’s ten prospects Oklahoma City should particularly pay attention to.

It’s impossible to predict what Sam Presti and the Oklahoma City Thunder are going to do tonight. There’s a chance he swings for the fences and trades up into the lottery. There’s also a chance he trades the pick without getting any sort of draft compensation. Or here’s a novel idea: Presti keeps the pick and drafts a player at #21.

There are so many options on the table for Presti that it’s near-sighted to only look at prospects projected to go around the 20’s. No. This list takes a look at players all over the board – from late lottery-level talent to hidden second round gems.

One thing you’ll notice is not a single big is listed. Naturally I’d go through a long explanation explaining why that’s the case, but it just so happens I’ve already done that for you. Simply put, the Thunder are more than deep enough down-low and unbearably thin with weapons on the perimeter.

With that said, here’s ten prospects Thunder fans should be thrilled with if they end up on the Oklahoma City roster.
