Like any other draft, GMs got a draft board prepared. So make your 1st round draft board for OKC.
With the 1st pick OKC could be choosing from 1-7 depending on the lottery outcome. They also have the 25th pick. Prioritize 5 selections for the 1st pick and 5 selections for the 25th pick.
Pick 1-7
1.Blake Griffin
2.Ricky Rubio
3.James Harden
4.Hasheem Thabeet
5.Jordan Hill
Pick 25
1.Jrue Holiday
2.Terrence Williams
3.Jarvis Varnado
4.Tyler Hansbrough
5.Sam Young

Looking forward to the lotto so we can get a clearer picture.

i'd put hill lower on the board than the SG's. hill's position is already filled on the team, he can't play center, and a team this bad can't afford to draft a backup with a high pick.
griffin
rubio
harden
thabeet
derozan
evans
harden had a couple rough games but this team doesn't need another project like derozan or evans at SG. they need someone steady and ready to contribute asap if they draft a SG, and that's harden.
it'd be interesting to see what happens if okc got #2 pick. would a rubio/westbrook backcourt work? that pick would probably be worth a ton to a team like the knicks. i'd probably look to trade it.

Agreed, with everyone so high on Rubio, I would try and trade down just one spot and take my man Thabeet

Same as if we're sitting in a position where Hill is the obvious pick. Trade out of that spot for some more value. I haven't really looked a bunch at the late first round part of the draft because the top is just too much fun

Assuming we can't trade the pick, here's my order:
Griffin
Thabeet
Rubio
Harden
DeRozan
Jennings
Hill
This pick really needs to fall in the top 4 (60% chance). To me, those top 4 guys are the ones that can come in and fill a starting position for us this season and continue to do a good job filling it for years down the road.

I like those 2 esp.
I think Williams will one of those late round bargains!
I Like the Paddy mills one because he's an Aussie! WOOT not many of us in the NBA!
