No. 19 Oklahoma City Thunder- Luke Kennard (Duke, SO, Shooting Guard)

As much as it seems that Russell Westbrook can do it alone, let’s face it, he needs some help, especially from a secondary scorer. The Thunder would actually greatly benefit from falling into the NBA Draft lottery, but it looks like they’ll be in the field of 16 when it’s all said and done this season.

Kennard won’t ever be an NBA star, but he could find himself in a Kyle Korver or J.J. Redick role for the Thunder, which most teams would kill for.

Averaging 20 PPG and shooting 46 percent from beyond the arc, plus his ability to move the ball, makes him a well balanced offensive threat and would fit nicely in OKC.
