The calendar has flipped to June, which means NBA teams are intensifying their predraft process and hosting players for workouts and visits. The 2024 NBA draft will take place from June 26-27.
The Oklahoma City Thunder enter this year’s class with a sole draft pick of the No. 12 selection. OKC was gifted the free lottery pick via the Houston Rockets.
The Thunder have hosted several meetings with draft prospects in the past few weeks. This includes players outside the lottery range as OKC will likely seek to add undrafted free agents or even buy back into the second round if it likes someone enough.
One possibility is Pittsburgh’s Carlton Carrington. He reportedly had a predraft workout with the Thunder, per HoopsHype.
The 18-year-old was a classic one-and-done college player. He spent his lone campaign at Pittsburgh this past season.
In 33 games last season, Carrington averaged 13.8 points on 41.2% shooting, 5.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists. He shot 32.2% from 3 on 6.1 attempts. At 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, he has decent size for a guard.
Carrington could be a serious option for the Thunder at the 12th pick. He’d be a project and need time to fill out his frame. He could be a bench scorer.
