The Oklahoma City Thunder have collected in an historic number of draft picks the last couple of years as the team goes through a rebuilding cycle.
The trades of Paul George and Russell Westbrook revamped the team’s draft pick collection that will play out for many years. The team has arguably the most draft capital of any NBA team.
The Thunder have a core of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Josh Giddey and Lu Dort that will continue to improve over the next several years due to the number of draft picks the team can use to surround that core with young talent.
