In SBNation’s Mock Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder came away with three first-round prospects that the fanbase would be ecstatic to get.
This piece will talk about each selection and the overall thoughts behind it.
This article by Ricky O’Donnell gives info ranking the best 30 players drafted in this year’s mock draft.
For clarification, trading picks were not allowed during this process to keep it simple, so that means OKC could only select 6th, 16th, and 18th.
6th pick: Scottie Barnes
Considering Barnes’ rapidly growing stock in most mock drafts, taking him sixth would be a big win for the Thunder.
