Springer or BJ clear BPAs for me here but not sure OKC goes this route, they might keep going with the international guys and take Roko, or maybe Isaiah Jackson a darkhorse here, or JT Thor if they want to swing for the fences.

They literally have no bigs on the roster(Roby won't cut it) and I don't think they'll try to spend on one in the FA either.

If it's not Sengun at #6, they'll definitely be taking one at #16. I voted for Kai here.

Why are you so high on BJ and not ZWilliams?

Springer is the perfect long term backcourt mate with SGA.

I expect the Thunder to go into the season with some atrocious bigs in order to tank.

Williams and Spinger seem to fit Presti's MO, went Williams.

OKC has both #16 and #18. I would take an athletic big at #16, like Kai Jones, and a guard at #18.

Springer. He is easily the BPA and while they have some nice young guards, there isnt a sure playoff caliber starter in the mix at this moment. His game seems like a great fit next to SGA as well, as he can play on/off ball and is the type that does the little things well.

I dont think OKC is going to think position need over BPA at this point. They have nice young guards (Ty, Maledon, Dort), but again none are surefire long-term partners to SGA. Go w/ Jaden.

But aren't Springer and SGA both PGs? They're both gonna want to run the show so it might not be a good fit..

I know SGA has played some 1 and some 2, curious what thunder fans think, in terms of which position he should be playing long term..

I could see Kispert here. He'd be a nice trade chip for a contender looking for shooting.

If Jones is here its a no brainer really unless they think Memphis wont take him and they want to take Springer or sim here to block Memphis and then take Jones at 18
I personally dont think Jones is available past 12

Neither is a old school floor general PG. They can both play on and off ball. The more creators, willing passers and shooters the better in this league IMO.
