6. Oklahoma City Thunder – Jonathan Kuminga, F, G League Ignite

The Oklahoma City Thunder would likely want to move up in this draft, and they reportedly tried to jump all the way up to No. 1, but at No. 6 it’ll be tough sledding for this team. Especially considering that they’re hoping to find a face of the franchise.

Nevertheless, taking Jonathan Kuminga here with the No. 6 pick comes with value. He has been projected to go in the top 5 but could drop all the way toward the end of the lottery. Kuminga seems like a hit-or-miss prospect but he does have some high-end potential.

Kuminga is one of the most athletic wings in this draft, but still has some strides to make on the offensive end. If he can make those strides, however, he could end up being one of the best players to emerge in this class.
