Could the OKC Thunder trade back in the draft and target a big man?
NBA Draft day is here and there are decisions to be made. The Oklahoma City Thunder are a unique team in particular to follow. They've already made a win-now move, securing Alex Caruso's production via trade. What other tricks does Thunder general manager Sam Presti have up his sleeve?
Who are some options for the Thunder to secure should they trade further back in the first round of the draft? Trading just outside of the lottery, the Thunder could select Indiana center Kel'el Ware. After an underwhelming season at Oregon, the 7-footer joined the Hoosiers where he saw his draft stock rise. He averaged 15.9 points and 9.9 rebounds across 30 games played, all of which were starts. He shot 43 percent on 3-pointers. Even if the 3-point shooting was on low volume it would be worth taking a swing on with Chip Engelland on the Thunder's staff as a highly-regarded shooting coach.
