To ESPN's Zach Kram, the OKC Thunder have taken part in some of the most disastrous draft-day decisions since 2020. Their trade that sent 16 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Alperen Sengun, to the Rockets in exchange for two future picks, one of which was used on Ousmane Dieng a year later, is believed to be the club's worst one of all.
Clearly, four years removed, it's more than evident that Sam Presti and company got the short end of the stick when it comes to the better talent received, as Houston landed a 6-foot-11 All-Star center while Oklahoma City rosters a 6-foot-9 end-of-bench filler.
