The 2023 NBA draft is two weeks away, which means draft prospects are touring the country and meeting with teams.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are looking at possibly adding two rookies to their roster. They own the No. 12 and No. 50 picks in the draft.
One possibility at No. 50 is Rutgers guard Caleb McConnell, who appears to be wearing a Thunder workout shirt on his latest Instagram story, which would mean he met with them in a pre-draft visit.
The 24-year-old spent five college seasons at Rutgers from 2018 to 2023. In 28 games last season, he averaged 9.1 points on 39.5% shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists. He also shot 20.3% from 3 on 2.3 attempts.
McConnell could be an option in undrafted free agency. He is projected to be a borderline late second-round pick.
The 2023 NBA draft is scheduled for Thursday, June 22. A full list of prospects who’ve met with the Thunder can be read here.
