Report: OKC Thunder scouts in attendance for several 2024/2025 high school recruits

While it’s the slowest month of the year in the NBA calendar, that hasn’t stopped teams from continuing to put in work — especially when it comes to collecting data on future potential draft prospects.

That was the case for the Oklahoma City Thunder and several other NBA teams, who were in attendance during an Adidas All-American camp, per Yahoo Sports draft expert Krysteen Peek.

The Thunder were in attendance to watch a handful of high school juniors and seniors that will likely populate the 2026 and 2027 NBA draft classes. The list of participants included:

• 5-star guard Ian Jackson, who is in the class of 2024 and committed to North Carolina

• 4-star forward Khani Rooths, who is in the class of 2024

• 4-star guard Kur Teng, who is in the class of 2024 and committed to Michigan State

• 3-star forward George Turksan, who is in the class of 2024 and committed to Texas A&M

• 4-star guard Mikel Brown Jr., who is the class of 2025

• 4-star guard JJ Mandaquit, who is in the class of 2025

As of now, here’s a list of first-round picks the Thunder own during the 2026 and 2027 NBA drafts:

• 2026 Thunder first-round pick

• 2026 Clippers first-round pick

• 2026 Rockets top-4 protected first-round pick

• 2027 Thunder first-round pick

• 2027 Nuggets top-5 protected first-round pick

It’s never too early to collect a profile for potential future draft prospects — even if they’re three years out. The Thunder — along with most of the league — is using the summer camp to start building up profiles of potential future NBA players.
