Despite being the number one seed in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder saw their season ended by the Dallas Mavericks. The team has lots of draft picks in the future to work with to keep building on a strong core. Let’s look at the Thunder’s 2024 NBA Draft picks and more.
Thunder 2024 NBA Draft Picks
The Thunder have just one selection in the 2024 NBA Draft but it is in the lottery thanks to a trade with the Rockets.
Thunder Select at No. 12 in 1st Round
The Thunder had the best record in the Western Conference in 2023-24 but will select at no. 12 overall thanks to a trade with the Rockets back in 2019. The trade included a swap of Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook that also sent 2021, 2024, 2025, and 2026 first-round picks to OKC.
The trade has definitely worked out for the Thunder as they have a strong group that might be just a player away from reaching the NBA Finals.
