Draft night in the NBA is perhaps the most hectic, uncertain time during the entire year, but when a team is prepared for everything like the Thunder is, it results in a higher chance of making effective decisions for the organization with both the short and long term in mind.
The Thunder started the night with the number 14 and number 48 overall selections, ready to enhance the currently assembled group in the best way possible.
Just after 8:00 p.m. CT, General Manager Sam Presti and his staff selected Cameron Payne, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound point guard from Murray State University.
