No sure things for Thunder in NBA Draft, but notable names abound in second round
Former Arizona star Allonzo Trier, who played two years of high school basketball for homeschool teams in Oklahoma, is a second-round hopeful in Thursday's NBA Draft. [AP PHOTO]There were lots of reasons to draft Terrance Ferguson.
The Thunder's first-round pick in last season's NBA Draft had played a professional season in Australia and yet ranked among the youngest prospects available. He was a high-level athlete with a developing 3-point shooting stroke and a reputation for being coachable.
It just happened that Ferguson had an Oklahoma tie, having grown up in Tulsa before moving to Dallas.
