15. Oklahoma City Thunder (via LAC)  – Keegan Murray, F, Iowa

After adding a wing earlier in the first round, I could see the Oklahoma City Thunder adding to their frontcourt once again with this second first-round pick. Keegan Murray could be an option, as he has impressed during his sophomore season at Iowa.

Murray is an offensive beast and is averaging 23 points and eight rebounds on 57 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent shooting from 3-point range. I’m not exactly sure how Murray is going to translate to the NBA, but he is surely talented.

If his offense translates, there’s no question that Murray could be in the conversation to be a borderline lottery selection.
