BROADCAST REPORTER AND DIGITAL EDITOR
hen July 29 rolls around, it will be just 253 days since the last time the Thunder was on the clock at the NBA Draft. This year, the Thunder has six selections to work with, including three first rounders (all in the top 18) and five of the first 36 overall picks.
The COVID-19 pandemic rearranged everyone’s schedules over the past 16 months, meaning that the Thunder’s scouting staff has been preparing for the 2021 NBA Draft in a more compressed timetable than usual, but will be ready to utilize all the assets at its disposal as it usually does.
