OKC Thunder 2024 NBA Draft Workout Tracker
The Oklahoma City Thunder have begun their draft preparation by hosting NBA Draft Workouts with incoming prospects. This can range from interviews to private workouts and even group workouts where prospects battle each other.
As an organizational philosophy, the OKC Thunder does not release the names of prospects they work out with, while other teams are more cavalier with sharing this info and even inviting their media corp to interview prospects.
The Thunder wisely keep their cards close to the vest on this topic and you can expect them to have had touchpoints with nearly every prospect eligible to be selected in June. Though, only a few get out. So far, here is the list of public draft workouts with already more gathered behind the scenes that can not be shared until a later date.
- Tidjane Salaun, 6'8, 214 pounds and a 7'1 wingspan: The OKC Thunder will work out the French phenom according to Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman as Salaun has often been linked to Oklahoma City. The 18-year-old flashes NBA skills that with some polish could interject himself into the Thunder rotation as a near-perfect four-man in the Thunder's system. Salaun's range is in the Lottery with the Thunder's chance at getting him resting at pick No. 12.
- Tristian Enaruna, 6'8, 200 pounds: The former Kansas Jayhawk finished his college career at Cleveland State after a pitstop at Iowa State. The OKC Thunder have conducted a workout with Enaruna according to the Cleveland State social media page, marking one of his 15 workouts that are known. Enaruna is a slashing wing with crafty rim finishes, sprinting the floor in transition and being used as a play finisher. Enaruna would be an undrafted free-agent target.
- Clarence Daniels, 6'6, 225 pounds: A JUCO Product who finished his college career at New Hampshire, Daniels is a springy slasher who lived above the rim and has a slow-developing shot but could be worth a flyer after the draft concludes and make for fun Summer League highlights.
- Tyler Smith, 6'11, 224 pounds: The G League Ignite product is just the second projected first-round product to have a confirmed workout with the OKC Thunder. Smith is a modern NBA big man with unique skills that can contribute early in his NBA career.
- DJ Jeffries, 6'7, 215 pounds: Jeffries represents one of the most fun undrafted free agent targets who would be a highlight reel at NBA Summer League and potentially help the OKC Blue defend their G League title.
- Jared McCain, 6'2, 203 pounds: The Duke guard was seen at the Oklahoma City Airport during the week of June 11, which could indicate a workout with the organization. The sharpshooting guard would be in the No. 12 range and represents the third known first-round product to have contact with the organization. McCain would help the Thunder on and off the ball on the offensive end.
- Tyrece Radford, 6'2, 200 pounds: The Texas A&M product posted on social media that he was in Oklahoma City, leading many to believe he is in town for a draft workout with the OKC Thunder. Radford is an undrafted free-agent target who doesn't provide much NBA pop. The lack of 3-point shooting limits his scoring potential due to his frame, which will also hold him back as a defender. With the Thunder's commitment to the NBA G League, it is worth looking at a potential G League weapon.
- Jarod Lucas, 6'3, 195 pounds: A two-time All-MWC player with lights-out shooting ability as a four-year college prospect could be a sneaky undrafted free agent pick-up with a specialty skill worth having in the organization for internal development in the G League with the ability to pop.
- KJ Jones II, 6'6, 190 pounds: A five-year college player who will go undrafted from the Division-II ranks but could carve out a stellar G League career.
- Jonathan Mogbo, 6'6, 217 pounds: Mogbo was a double-double machine in college who can help the Thunder up their physicality in a big way. Viewed right now as a high-end second-round player, Oklahoma City would need to buy back into day two to grab Mogbo.
- Jack Gohlke, 6'3, 215 pounds: Gohlke stole the show at March Madness with his dazzling sharpshooting and lifting his team to an upset of the University of Kentucky. With the NIL deals rolling in as are the draft workouts. However, expect the Oakland star to be an undrafted target to stash on the Blue, should anything materialize.
- DJ Horne, 6'1, 175 pounds: Horne is a typical OKC Blue target, an undersized spunky guard who can fill it up. Horne has a redeemable NBA skill in his 3-point volume shooting and would be a second-round target should OKC buy back into the last round. Perhaps the North Carolina State product could slip to undrafted free agency at that point being a hot commodity for a Summer League look.
- Sam Griffin, 6'3, 180 pounds: Griffin is a high-end 3-point shooter including away from the ball, playing up the road at Tulsa before transferring to Wyoming Griffin is an interesting undrafted free agent target. The Thunder nabbed OKC Blue guard Hunter Maldonado from Wyoming in the UDFA pool a year ago.
- Jermaine Couisnard, 6'4, 211 pounds: A five-year college player who learned to fill it up as a scorer for the Gamecocks before transferring to Oregon is an undrafted free agent target that should earn a Summer League tryout somewhere.
- Mailk Hall, 6'7, 215 pounds: The Michigan State standout is primed for a high-level G League role after likely hitting the undrafted free agent list. A scorer efficiently fills it up and can polish off his beyond-the-arc jumper in the pros.
- Malevy Leons, x, x pounds: The Bradley product had a strong Portsmith Invitational and earned a draft workout with the Thunder, after averaging 13.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 3.0 stocks per game. Leons looks to be an undrafted target for teams to bring into the summer league.
- Quetin Post, 7'0, 213 Pounds: The Boston College product is going to make flashes at Summer League with his size if he is able to get on the court and find a spot after the draft.
- Armel Tarore, 6'9, 210 pounds: The 21-year-old could contribute right away as a second-round prospect who might sneak into the bottom half of day one,
- Ron Holland, 6'6, 197 pounds: The G League Ignite product is trending to be a draft night slider, which could benefit Oklahoma City in a big way. Holland is a spark plug energy player with one of the highest ceilings in the draft.
- Trentyn Flowers 6'6, 201 pounds: A second-round target could be worth the Thunder moving into day two of the event for after a stint in the NBL. The 19-year-old has received a first-round grade from some, and will be taken somewhere in the top 45 one can assume. Flowers averaged five points and three rebounds while shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc.
- Jamal Shead, 6'0, 201 pounds: Shead will be a lock for a prime spot in the second round with an ability to immediately impact an NBA team and serve as a bench point guard and an insurance policy with their depth.
- Jameer Nelson Jr., 6'2, 200 pounds: The son of an NBA standout is truly impressive when you watch him in person. He commands an offense well and can get it done on both ends. However, Nelson Jr. will likely go the undrafted route and search for his home Wednesday night.
- Babacar Sane, 6'7, 194 pounds: Sane is a G League Ignite product who could sneak into the second round but will likely end up going undrafted. With the Ignite, Sane posted nine points, nearly an assist, nearly six rebounds and a stock per game while shooting 43 percent from the floor, 27 percent from the floor and 71 percent at the line. The 20-year-old still has room to grow in an NBA program with more structure than the Ignite had to offer.
