4. Oklahoma City Thunder – A.J. Griffin, F, Duke

Equipped with multiple first-round picks, the Oklahoma City Thunder will have another opportunity to add to this young core. One potential option late in the first round is A.J. Griffin.

Griffin continues to make the move up draft boards and I don’t think that’s stopping anytime soon. If he absolutely kills it in pre-draft workouts, don’t put it past him to pass fellow Duke draft prospect Paolo Banchero.

That would be actually quite amazing considering that just a couple of months ago, Griffin was being mocked late in the first round. But he has all the tools that you want in a prospect. His ceiling is something to question, but the raw talent is present.
