Yooo bro. They took Ousmane Dieng over Jalen Duren. I was fine with Jalen Williams but taking both him AND Dieng, that's the take. THAT'S THE TAKE.
That's fair, but not what you said
The Thunder chose to use the #11 pick on Dieng and the #12 pick on Jalen because there was a chance the trade with the Knicks could fall apart after the pick was announced, but there was no chance of anything going wrong with #12. Jalen was the player they wanted to make sure they came out of draft night with.
