The OKC Thunder have built one of the most exciting young cores in the NBA. This Oklahoma City Thunder team has the chance to be special. The main components of this Thunder roster have been built through the NBA draft. Those that played college basketball nearly all have a special connection from their playing days before the NBA.
This season, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected Cason Wallace with the tenth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and Keyontae Johnson with the 50th overall pick. Those two wildcats matched up with each other in a thrilling NCAA tournament game with Sam Presti in attendance!
