Despite the 2023 NBA draft wrapping up less than two weeks ago, it’s never too early for teams to start scouting the upcoming draft classes.
That’s exactly what the Oklahoma City Thunder did on Wednesday when Yahoo Sports draft expert Krysten Peek reported they — along with several other teams — were in attendance for this year’s Peach Jam tournament. The tournament consists of several of the top high school prospects on 84 high school teams.

The headliners were Cooper Flagg and Cameron Boozer, arguably the two top prospects in the 2025 high school class — unless they reclassify for 2024. Both players have offers from Duke and will likely be draft eligible in the 2027 NBA draft class.
Boozer is the son of former NBA player Carlos Boozer, who played for 15 years from 2002 to 2017.
Who knows where the Thunder will be by then, but considering their future draft capital for the remainder of the decade, they’ll likely get a shot to draft either one if the time comes.
