To show you how year-round the NBA business is, the 2026 NBA draft is right around the corner. Not even two full weeks are left before the Oklahoma City Thunder and the rest of the league look to add a new pool of talent. This will be their chance to inject some youth into the back of their roster.
For the Thunder, they continue to enjoy the best of both worlds — contending for a Larry O'Brien trophy and doing their homework for a lottery addition. They will enter the 2026 NBA draft with three draft picks — No. 12 via the LA Clippers; No. 17 via the Philadelphia 76ers; and No. 37 via the Dallas Mavericks.
One prospect the Thunder have reportedly met with in a predraft workout is St. John's Zuby Ejiofor, per St. John's reporter Dave Berov. He played in four collegiate seasons from 2022-26. His first year was at Kansas before transferring to the Red Storm. He averaged 16.3 points on 53.6% shooting, 7.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 37 games this past season. He shot 30.5% from 3 on 1.6 attempts.
The 22-year-old is a 6-foot-9, 254-pound forward. Most NBA mock drafts have him going somewhere in the middle of the first round. That means if the Thunder are interested, they'd likely have to take him with either the No. 12 or No. 17 pick. Depending on how things shake out.
The 2026 NBA draft will take place from June 23-24. The Thunder will look to add more young talent to their roster to keep their contending window open as long as possible around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams.
