After the Oklahoma City Thunder received the sixth pick from the NBA draft lottery, HoopsHype draft expert Bryan Kalbrosky joined a Q&A with Thunder Wire to discuss a variety of draft-related subjects surrounding OKC.
While fans are rightfully disappointed that the Thunder got the sixth pick after entering with the fourth-best odds, Kalbrosky still thinks Oklahoma City can and should end up with a top-five talent, but it’s not one of the five players usually mentioned as the leaders of the class.
If Florida State forward Scottie Barnes is available — and, in the majority of mock drafts, he is — Oklahoma City should be his new home.
Here’s the transcript of the Q&A. The discussion has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity.
