Did the OKC Thunder find another undrafted gem?

The OKC Thunder have a strong reputation for finding undrafted free agents and value in the margins under General Manager Sam Presti. The loudest example of this is Lu Dort. The Thunder picked him up immediately following the 2019 NBA Draft. At times during that cycle, Dort earned a first-round grade before falling out of favor and going undrafted. Dort eventually landed on a two-way contract before making a playoff impact as a rookie in the bubble. Even Kenrich Williams was undrafted, starting his career in New Orleans before being a throw-in to the Steven Adams trade and blooming in Bricktown.
