The 2023 NBA draft is officially over and the Oklahoma City Thunder ended the night with a pair of new rookies.
In a trade with the Dallas Mavericks, the Thunder acquired Kentucky guard Cason Wallace with the No. 10 pick. At the No. 50 pick, the Thunder drafted Kansas State forward Keyontae Johnson.
Wallace will get a chance to earn rotation minutes right off the bat, as he will likely start the year off the bench. Meanwhile, Johnson will likely spend most of his rookie season on the G League’s OKC Blue as he will likely slide into the new third two-way spot.
Let’s hand out draft grades for both Wallace and Johnson as the Thunder continue to fortify their young roster.
