The 2021 NBA Draft is right around the corner, and Sam Presti has compiled six picks in the upcoming draft. That leaves the OKC Thunder with a ton of wiggle room, they can afford to take high upside swings, trade up or down in the draft, and even help facilitate trades as a third team. One name to keep an eye on in the upcoming draft is G-League Ignite forward Isaiah Todd.

Todd’s evaluations range anywhere from a first-round talent to a second-round flyer. The lack of hype surrounding the G-League Ignite product is puzzling when you factor in his NBA-Ready body, athleticism, and ability to space the floor.
