WATCH: Josh Giddey's Opinions on This Year's Draft

Giddey will be 'tuning in' to the draft this season.

Much like all the Thunder fans, Josh Giddey will be glued to the screen on draft night.

“Oh yeah I’ll be tuning in,” Giddey said during his exit interview.

With OKC officially having two lottery picks in the upcoming draft, there’s reason to be excited.

For a small market team like Oklahoma City, it’s imperative that the front office nails the draft.

If last year was any representation, Thunder fans should trust Sam Presti’s wizardry.

In his exit interview, Giddey could not contain excitement as the topic of draftees was brought up. Clearly, there’s someone he has his eye on.

Giddey smiled and said,”yeah, there's a there's a few guys obviously, you know, the top five are obviously pretty locked in. Everyone knows who they're going to be. But I mean, there's there's a few in that category I'd love to play with but whoever we get, we integrate them into the team and I'm ready to move forward.”

According to Giddey, the players and front office communicate consistently. If Giddey has already mentioned his list of players he’d like drafted to OKC to Sam Presti it would not be shocking.

But as always, it will be ultimately be up to Presti to make all the decisions regarding the draft.
