(Predictions)What draft spot do the Thunder draw?

We know the Thunder have the 4th worst record in the league. But it's seems like every year some team or even two jump into the top three.

When it's all said and done where will the Thunder be picking? The Thunder can do no worse than 7th but they could pick #1 if they get a little lucky.

If you want to toss out who you think they will pick along with position go right ahead.

I'm going with #5

I think some team below the Thunder will jump into the top three.

And with that 5th pick the OKC Thunder select James Harden..............much to my disappointment.

Statistically they have about a 35% chance of landing 5th (easily the highest odds of any slot, with 6th coming in 2nd at 16%). I think they'll stay put at 4th. Don't know if it's because I really want them to be in the top 3 or what, but I just feel like they're going to be right on the outside of Griffin/Rubio/Thabeet. There are other good players, and I think I'll agree with you wiff, and say that Harden is the most likely guy that ends up on OKC's team.

Top four would be nice to secure my top 4 player.I would be happy with any of Griffin,Rubio,Harden or Thabeet.All four would add to this young and talented team.I just have bad feeling we will drop and end up none of them.My prediction is 5 and end up with Jordan Hill.

The more and more I ponder dropping out of the top 4 The more I become acceptable to Hill
Just watching him makes me feel like he could turn out o be a stud big
He still is only 21
Good Defensively
Has better offensive tools than Thabeet
If we fall out of the top 4
I think he might not be so bad
The only thing is does anyone else feel like he could play Center?

One of my co-workers and I were talkin about the possibility of Griffin stayin put in OKC. Although I think otherwise, he presented a good point like you and slick watts posted in the thread. Since he's from the city and played college in the state. It's rigged up for a potential chance for it to happen like Derrick Rose to his hometown of Chicago in last year's draft and LBJ to his homestate team the Cavs.

Clearly you both were wrong.
