#12: OKC Thunder select Dalton Knecht

The Thunder are already very good and chock full of young talent, so grabbing a player with an NBA-ready skill makes sense.

Having an elite shooter around SGA just opens up more space for the superstar to work in and Knecht could also be a weapon in a two-man game with Chet Holmgren.

The Thunder could reach for upside here, but with five more picks coming next year, they may as well get a player who can help them now and Knecht could. The Thunder led the NBA in 3-point percentage this season and add to a strength.
