While the Oklahoma City (OKC) Thunder may have just defeated Nikola Jokić, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's (SGA) game winning-cry for the back-to-back MVP, Sam Presti and the big wigs upstairs are keeping a close eye elsewhere. Set to make his 50th selection with the franchise in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft, but where the pick falls is outside of Presti's control. The Thunder have the rights to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Utah Jazz's first round selections in the upcoming draft -- a historically deep draft, featuring the likes of BYU's AJ Dybansta, Kansas' Darryn Peterson, Duke's Cameron Boozer, Tennesee's Nate Ament, Illinois' Keaton Wagler, Houston's Kingston Flemmings, all set to compete in the imminent March Madness. If Adam Silver's ping pong balls fall in favor of OKC, Gabriel Ebersole has zero doubt Sam Presti will use the final piece of the infamous Paul George-SGA trade to catapult the Thunder into dynasty status. Today, Gabriel Ebersole breaks down Sam Presti's star-studded draft resume, starting with Seattle SuperSonics Kevin Durant, and including the likes of Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Steven Adams, Serge Ibaka, Alperen Sengun, Josh Giddey at the top...before continuing with Ajay Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins, Jaylin Williams, and Andre Roberson down the line. Also included, he breaks down some of the 2026 NBA Draft's top prospects, the random resurgence of Kawhi Leonard, and the OKC roster for next season. --- Thunder Digest covers the latest reports, news and rumors regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder.
