Maxwell Lewis in OKC for presumed pre-draft visit with the Thunder
The 2023 NBA draft is less than a month away, which means pre-draft visits and workouts have ramped up.
The Oklahoma City Thunder own three draft picks at No. 12, No. 37 and No. 50, which casts a wide range of prospects they could potentially select at those spots.
Pepperdine forward Maxwell Lewis appears to be one of the prospects who’ve met with the Thunder, as he posted on his Instagram story that he was in OKC for a presumed pre-draft visit.

The 20-year-old spent two college seasons at Pepperdine, which is a WCC school. In 31 games last season, he averaged 17.1 points on 46.8% shooting, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists. He also shot 34.8% from 3 on 4.3 attempts.
Lewis is currently projected to go in the late first round, which means the Thunder will likely need to trade back into the first round in order to acquire him.
The 2023 NBA draft is scheduled for Thursday, June 22. A full list of prospects who’ve met with the Thunder can be read here.
