Right now NBADraft.net has Hansborough at 25. I wouldn't mind seeing this. He was one of the best college players in recent memory, and he is a proven winner, and would bust his ass trying to work his way into the lineup.

lol no thx.

we need perimeter shooting

The player you suggested is clearly a better option

Marcus Thornton or Sam young.

Hansborough (if available at 25) would be a good pick in my opinion. Despite his limitations, people seemed to have similar images of David West a few years ago. I think that Tyler can make a contribution in the NBA (although I'm not saying at the level of West). He's shown that he can play against very talented players and that will convey to the next level in some form.

That said, I think Tyler will be a PF in the NBA and the Thunder have almost no need for a PF that isn't of starting caliber. Even at the starting level PF position I believe that Green can occupy the position, but when you look at guys like Collison (perfect bench PF), White (great energy PF from the bench) and Ibaka (great prospect for the future)... I see no need to go for a random PF in the late first. This team needs someone that can consistently knock down anything from 20+ feet first!

Terrence WIlliams. I hope we take a flier on him. Athletic, can defend, great passer. If he improves his Jumper he could be a good NBA player

Wayne Ellington... depends who you talk to if he will stay be there or not at 25, but that would be a solid pick IMO. Great shooter that is used to not being a first or second option already so he'd blend right in.

I want to get a scorer off the bench, preferably an outside shooter.

That's a great steal if we can pick Terrence WIlliams with #25.

Young or Williams

I have a feeling Terrence Williams is going to be gone closer to the #15 Spot instead of the #25 spot.

I'd be happy with Sam Young or Patty Mills.

I like Mills range and speed. Plus I think he would allow Westbrook to slide to the SG for a handful of minutes a game too.

Patty Mills is an Aussie - so of course I dig him.

I think you are right - Williams might not be available at 25. (Although some mocks have him falling that far, some have him at 12ish too. I guess we'll see.)

30 days to go!

Definitely a shooter if Thabeet is acquired with the third pick.

I'll be the first to mention Jermaine Taylor, the most slept on player in the draft ... Presti will be all over him late in the first round. OKC will get their big center in Thabeet and their jump shooting SG in Taylor.

One successful draft.

Marcus Thornton could be a good pickup as a scoring SG with outside range. Young and Williams could also be good but I wonder about their ability to contribute offensively, which is what I think we should look for at this position.

How about this guy?

Nando De Colo

A 6'4" European shooting guard who can score and distribute with some outside shooting. Could be a poor man's James Harden maybe? Didn't hear anything about this guy until today but I could conceivably see Presti taking a chance on him depending on who is still available when it comes time to pick.

Chase Budinger

if no big names fall I'd take sam young. Your not going get anything explosive but hes a good defender a smart player he can hit a clutch shot if you need it but not a reliable scoring threat.

To me Sam Young is a little redundant with Thabo

Now that the measurements are out I would take Tyler Hansbrough at 25, but since he measured out so well I doubt he's still there.

I was just looking around the mocks and noticed the guy I want us to pick (Terrence Williams) is being listed as high as 16th to as low as the second round. I wonder why such a huge disparity?!

Don't you think he is alot like Collison?
