2024 NBA mock draft: Who’s projected to go to the OKC Thunder
The 2023 NBA draft is officially history as the Oklahoma City Thunder enjoyed a quiet night of adding two rookies to their roster. The Thunder selected Cason Wallace at No. 10 and Keyontae Johnson at No. 50.
There’s a very real possibility that’s not the case in next year’s class, as the Thunder could potentially own four first-round picks:
Thunder first-round pick
LA Clippers first-round pick
Top-four protected Houston Rockets first-round pick
Top-10 protected Utah Jazz first-round pick
It could be a busy night for the Thunder during the 2024 NBA draft. As is tradition, ESPN published their first mock of the 2024 class the day after the draft. In this exercise, the Thunder only owned two draft picks — their own at No. 15 and the Rockets’ at No. 5.
Who did Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo have OKC select?
At the No. 5 pick, the Thunder came away with 19-year-old Kentucky guard Justin Edwards. At the No. 15 pick, the Thunder selected 18-year-old Oregon forward Kwame Evans.
Edwards is a five-star wing from Philadelphia. Evans is a five-star wing from Maryland. In this mock, the Thunder passed up on selecting Jalen Williams’ brother Cody, as he went No. 6 to the Jazz.
If the Thunder manage to come out with the No. 5 pick via the Rockets, then that’s a huge win as it gives them an extra boost to add talent to their young core.
