Intentions turn our attention to Oregon guard Chris Duarte as we continue the annual OKC Thunder prospect profile series.

As one of the oldest prospects in the 2021 draft class Duarte may be limited to the teams who’ll give him a long hard look. Franchises like the OKC Thunder that are rebuilding mode may deem a 24-year-old as outside their timeline whereas a contending team could be more open to having a mature prospect who is ready to contribute.

Adding to his appeal, the Dominican is a big guard who offers consistent and efficient, perimeter shooting.
