Round 1, No. 21 overall

The Thunder took a chance on the 6-foot-10 McGary even though he admitted to testing positive for marijuana during the NCAA Tournament. He would play in just 52 games for Oklahoma City, averaging 4.4 points and 3.5 rebounds. Facing two suspensions for failed drug tests, the Thunder waived him in October 2016.

Notable: The team drafted another power forward, Stanford’s Josh Huestis, at No. 29 overall the same year. Huestis stuck around a bit longer than McGary, appearing in 76 games and averaging 2.5 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.
