As Intentions continues our annual OKC Thunder NBA Draft profile series the next prospect we turn our attention to is Real Madrid forward Usman Garuba.
A small ball center who utilizes his athleticism and energy to great effect particularly on the defensive side of the hardwood. With few elite big men in this draft class, Usman will draw extra attention. Particularly from clubs who’ve witnessed the reinvigorated role of the big man this postseason.
