18. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Miami) – Ayo Dosunmu , G, Illinois

After taking a shot on Jonathan Kuminga earlier in the first round, it wouldn’t be surprising for the Oklahoma City Thunder to take a shot on another high-ceiling type player towards the end of the first round. One potential fit could be Ayo Dosunmu.

Dosunmu is a 6-foot-5 guard that had a breakout season during his Junior year with Illinois. He’s coming off a season in which he averaged 20 points, six rebounds, and five assists per game while shooting nearly 39 percent shooting from 3-point range.

When watching him play, you’re just attracted to his dynamic abilities on the offensive end. It’s tough to gauge where he’ll fit in the NBA, but the talent and potential are there. He’s not a slam-dunk prospect by any means, but he’s certainly one of the most interesting prospects that will be available at this point of the first round.
