The OKC Thunder had a very busy 24 hour period which started with the NBA draft and ended with a trade involving Derrick Favors and the Utah Jazz. While many people question the moves that Sam Presti makes, very few of them do not work out.
The Thunder surprised the NBA by selecting Australian Josh Giddey with the sixth pick of the 2021 NBA draft. When Scottie Barnes was taken by the Toronto Raptors, They left a consensus top-five pick Jonathan Kuminga on the board but the Thunder likes the look of the young Aussie.
