NBA Mock Draft 7.0: Knicks land Donovan Mitchell; Jabari Smith at No. 1
30. Oklahoma City Thunder (via Phoenix) – Wendell Moore Jr., F, Duke
With a third pick in the first round, there aren’t many needs that the Oklahoma City Thunder will need to hit. But taking a chance on a wing such as Wendell Moore Jr. would be right in line as a wise move.
The Thunder have plenty of talented young prospects on their roster but giving them another shot to land a hidden gem could go a long way in this team returning to relevance once again.
Moore doesn’t translate with star potential, but taking a chance late in the first round wouldn’t be the worse move for OKC. Moore averaged 13 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game on 50 percent shooting from the field and 41 percent shooting from 3 during his junior season at Duke.
