The 2023 NBA draft lottery is officially over, which means we now know where the Oklahoma City Thunder will be drafting.
The Thunder stayed at the No. 12 spot for their sole first-round pick this year. Meanwhile, OKC also owns the No. 37 overall pick (via the Washington Wizards) and the No. 50 overall pick (via the Miami Heat) in the second round.
In total, the Thunder currently owns three draft picks in the upcoming 2023 NBA draft, which is scheduled to happen on June 22. This can obviously change with trades as OKC has made a draft deal in the last four years.
The San Antonio Spurs won the lottery and will likely draft French phenom Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 pick.
