Top 5 Undrafted players OKC Thunder should take another look at
By Rylan Stiles
The OKC Thunder still have options even after the draft and should take a long look at the NBA Draft Prospects who might have fallen through the cracks.
The NBA Draft has wrapped up and there are a ton of talented NBA Draft prospects left for the taking. The OKC Thunder spent their first round pick on Darius Bazley but did not decide to buy back into the second round, not making a selection in the final 30 picks.
The NBA Draft was a wild one, that broke the record for the most trades on NBA Draft night. Prospects were flying off the board left and right, and my head is still spinning. Prospects and picks were exchanging hands in the blink of an eye and I am still not sure who is a Hawk and who is a Pelican.
Nonetheless, after the dust settled, and the 60 picks were revealed, there are still five talented undrafted NBA prospects that are there for the taking for the OKC Thunder.
Undrafted prospects in the NBA are an interesting conundrum, and they will start flying shortly as the weekend wraps up. The NBA presents a few different routes for these undrafted prospects to try and catch on. In a few weeks, the NBA will toss the ball up again, this time for the NBA Summer League in Vegas. A place where veteran players will go discuss the new wave of talent, and also discuss teaming up with each other. These five players will surely be in Vegas with some team, but should it be OKC?
Some of these players are good enough to earn a contract right away, even before an NBA Summer League try out, with either a teams G-League organization, or on a two-way deal that can see the prospects bounce back and forth from the G-League team and the varsity squad.
