Only a handful of days remain until the 2026 NBA draft. While the New York Knicks celebrate with the Larry O'Brien trophy, the rest of the league is ready to play catch-up as we're in the infancy stages of the offseason. One of the first big events of the summer? The two-day draft. Teams will get a chance to inject some youth into their rosters.

The Thunder will enter the 2026 NBA draft with three picks — No. 12 via the LA Clippers; No. 17 via the Philadelphia 76ers; and No. 37 via the Dallas Mavericks.
To see what the Thunder could add, let's look at the last five No. 12 selections:
