The Oklahoma City Thunder are on the cusp of completing a remarkable rebuild in the NBA, aiming for a championship after a successful season. Their roster is nearly full, raising questions about how they will utilize their significant draft capital to enhance the team. Despite projections filling all 15 roster spots due to team options for players like Jaylin Williams and Ajay Mitchell, the Thunder are still eyeing at least one key prospect for the upcoming draft.

In the latest ESPN mock draft, the Thunder are anticipated to select Collin Murray-Boyles, a forward from South Carolina. Draft expert Jeremy Woo highlights the divisive opinions surrounding Murray-Boyles, noting his strong defensive capabilities and potential as a solid NBA role player, despite concerns about his size and shooting ability. Woo suggests that Murray-Boyles aligns well with the Thunder's draft strategy, making this pick a likely and sensible choice for the organization.
