The OKC Thunder are currently sitting in seventh in the NBA’s Western Conference. However, with a cupboard full of first round draft picks, they are looking to get back to even greater relevance in a hurry.
Part of this process is taking young talents as projects and developing them. Currently, the OKC Thunder are trying to develop Justin Patton who has spent the majority of this season with the OKC Thunder G-League affiliate the OKC Blue
However, Patton is a center who does not play the power forward position well. The Thunder need to start looking further afield for potential candidates for a developmental role, especially since it’s likely Danilo Gallinari will be traded.
