I have ZERO idea about any of these guys outside of Barrett and Zion.

I think PF is the weakest position on the team, but generally don’t like drafting positionally. I’d rather draft best player available.

I guess I’d hope that best player available was a player that is capable of playing SF/PF.

Kevin Porter Jr. Long, athletic and from what I've seen and heard he isn't a good shooter at this point. He just feels like a Presti pick and should go in the range OKC will be picking, 20ish.

I see the hype behind Zion Williamson now. To have that speed with a frame like that is unreal. I dont know who you could even compare him to. Lebron wasn’t built like that coming out of high school.

Zion is like a supersized version of Draymond that can shoot and score at a ridiculously high level

He's going to end like Dipo and some others that I liked early in the college season and play his way out of OKC's range. I heard he was working on his shooting and I'm not going to take much from one game, but if he has become a good shooter in addition to his other skills he'll probably be a top 10 pick if not top 5.

I love me some Kris Wilkes. From what I've seen, he can fill up the bucket. Good shooter. Smooth. Solid rebounder. Haven't seem him on defensive end, but he's got the tools.

Jordan Nwora is a guy I would keep an eye on. Seems like the type of 2/3 hybrid we would go for. Could probably be had in late second round.

My gosh. I just found out about Talen Horton-Tucker. Kid is 17 and looks super promising. He turns 18 on the 25th.

6’4/220

Listed at small forward.

7’1 wingspan. Hot damn.

I thinks Okc will go PF/C so a player like Jontay Porter,Jalen Hoard ,Simi Shittu will be good fit if any of them are still around.And if Talen Horton Tucker or Jordan Nwora are around in the 2nd round Okc should definitely try to get him.

I’m curious if you intentionally misspelled his last name or if it was autocorrected.

I would think he would be gone no later than the 15th pick so dont see okc getting him but he would be a good pickup.He reminds me of a taller and more athletic Jamal Crawford.

Another guy guy that could fall to Okc because of injury is Darius Garland he would be a huge pickup if it happened!
