This team, already stacked with talent, could find the missing piece in Thursday night’s draft that could get them over the hump.
Well, did they?
With their no. 21 selection in the first round, the Thunder selected Mitch McGary out of Michigan, although he only played eight games last season due to back issues.
Afterward, twitter reacted accordingly.
OKC Thunder select Mitch McGary. Which means he will be an all-star in about 2 years.

If the Thunder are taking Mitch McGary, I think it’s pretty clear they’re not taking Jarnell Stokes here in a few picks.
