Key takeaways from 2019 NBA Draft Combine including OKC Thunder draft promise
And for what it’s worth:
Although this class may be thin on talent it might be winning in one category which is the name game. A specific trio stood out.
Imagine having Terro Herro on your team he launches up a game-winning shot and the headline writes itself. Similarly, any team who Tacko Fall plays for varsity or G-League has a ready-made promotion night with Taco Bell. Plus Admiral Schofield is just such a great moniker.
And finally, while we’ve heard plenty of comparison’s of Ja Morant to Russell Westbrook, Cam Reddish is being compared to Paul George.
He is in play across the 4-10 range... every single executive I spoke with (16 plus) believe Cam will be a way better NBA player than he was at Duke, he gets the Paul George comparison a lot. https://t.co/oUeiewNuLN

To that end, teams will begin having private practices in earnest with prospects providing additional insight to help isolate their draft selection.
Unfortunately, Sam Presti and the OKC Thunder typically don’t tend to share the news about their sessions.
Even if the Thybulle promise is a real thing presumably the Thunder would still want a look at other prospects to either buy into the draft for or bring to add to their Vegas Summer League roster.
With financial restraints, and roster spots to fill Sam Presti has no choice but to be active in this regard.
