The 2023 NBA draft is less than a month away, which means pre-draft visits and workouts have ramped up.
The Oklahoma City Thunder own the draft picks at No. 12, No. 37 and No. 50, which creates a wide range of prospects they could select at those spots.
Pepperdine forward Maxwell Lewis appears to be one of the prospects who’ve met with the Thunder. He posted on his Instagram story that he was in OKC, presumably for a pre-draft visit.

The 20-year-old spent two college seasons at Pepperdine, which is a West Coast Conference school. In 31 games last season, he averaged 17.1 points on 46.8% shooting, 5.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists. He shot 34.8% from 3 on 4.3 attempts.
Lewis is projected to go late in the first round, which means the Thunder will likely need to trade back into the first round to acquire him.
The 2023 NBA draft is scheduled for Thursday, June 22. A full list of prospects who’ve met with the Thunder can be read here.
