The Young Prospector: R.J. Hampton

With a bounty of draft picks from the 2019 Tradepocalypse summer, the Thunder will be scouting young prospects at the top of recruiting and draft classes once again. Spenser Davis will keep you informed on whether those players look like good targets for Oklahoma City.

A couple notes off the top — a lot of my analysis here is based on tape from Hampton’s two preseason games at the NBL Blitz earlier this fall and his preseason games in Memphis and Oklahoma City. It’s tough to find reliable high school tape on Hampton — and many other prospects — that shows him doing more than dominating weaker competition with easy steals and transition dunks that won’t translate as frequently to the next level.
