Draft day is always full of surprises, especially when you cover the Oklahoma City Thunder. Entering day two, the Thunder owned pick No. 44 in the second round of this year's draft. It felt like everything was on the table. Trading up, out, or back, nothing that Sam Presti did would shock you. In the end, Presti elected to stay put, bringing in his second prospect from the 2025 NBA Draft class. With the No. 44 pick, the defending champions selected Northwestern swingman Brooks Barnhizer.
