Since draft selections are hit and miss, it is time to look back at the draft history of the OKC Thunder. The first draft we reflect on is from 2008. I strongly believe this is the most important draft of the OKC Thunder history. It was the first one after the franchise moved, even though they still selected as Seattle. But more importantly, it was the draft of Russell Westbrook, among others.
In this draft, the OKC Thunder had six picks, a far cry from the zero from the 2016 draft. The Thunder had two first round picks and four second round picks.
