25. Oklahoma City Thunder – Jahmi’us Ramsey, G, Texas Tech

After losing in the first round of the NBA playoffs to the Houston Rockets and then parting ways with head coach Billy Donovan, the expectation is that the Oklahoma City Thunder will be entering a bit of a rebuild this offseason. Danilo Gallinari will be a free agent and there’s a good chance that Chris Paul will be traded during the offseason.

Adding another potential piece next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be vital for this team’s rebuilding phase. Jahmi’us Ramsey could be an option for the Thunder at No. 25. He’s a big, strong guard that averaged 15 points and four rebounds on 44 percent shooting from the field and 43 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Ramsey needs to improve as an on-ball offensive threat, but as long as he proves he can hit a consistent jumper he’ll have a place in an NBA rotation. Could the Thunder maximize his talent?
