Oklahoma City Thunder

The one team that could alter the entire draft is the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sam Presti has collected draft picks as if his life depends on it in recent years, gathering 18 first-round picks through the 2027 NBA Draft.

In the 2021 NBA Draft alone, the Thunder have three first-round picks, including the No. 6 overall pick, along with the 16th and 18th overall picks. Given the state of Oklahoma City’s roster, the outcomes are endless on what Presti wants to do.

If the Thunder believe Jalen Suggs can help them expedite the process of their rebuild, then moving up to get him could be in the realm of possibilities.

Pairing Suggs with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would give Oklahoma City their backcourt of the future, putting them in a position to fill the other needs on the roster.
