No. 21 Oklahoma City Thunder- Luke Kennard (Duke, SO, Shooting Guard)

Another pick where I have kept the same from previous mocks, but it makes too much sense here. Luke Kennard to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Russell Westbrook needs help from someone to put the ball in the basket, that’s for sure. I don’t think anyone will mistake Kennard for a star in the NBA, but he could translate to an elite shooter at the next level, and that’s something every team envies.

Kennard averaged 19.5 PPG on 43 percent shooting from beyond the arc this season. His outstanding shooting, plus his ability to move the ball, makes him a well balanced offensive threat and would fit nicely in OKC.
