12. Oklahoma City Thunder – Shaedon Sharpe, G, Kentucky

With a second first-round pick in the lottery, the OKC Thunder will have plenty of flexibility heading into the draft. They snagged Chet Holmgren with their first pick and 10 selections later, they get another high-ceiling prospect in Shaedon Sharpe.

Sharpe is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on heading into the draft as he could go from anywhere in the top 10 to outside the lottery. I have him going just before the end of the lottery because of his raw talent.

It’s been nearly two full years since he’s played organized basketball and that will matter on draft night. I’m not sure how many teams would be all that interested in giving away a top 10 pick for a huge question mark.
