Summary
Presti has ultimately added some keeper prospects, with Giddey looking like one of the league's top triple-double threats and best passers, Tre Mann flashing dynamic scoring ability and Luguentz Dort giving the team a valuable perimeter defender.The next obvious step for Presti is improving Oklahoma City's frontcourt, whether it's with a wing or a big. Next season will be critical for Aleksej Pokusevski, whose flashes haven't been persuasive enough to ease concerns over his lack of production and his inefficiency.This draft is known for the big men at the top, specifically Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero and Jabari Smith. So this would be a good year for them to win the lottery with Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren and Jabari Smith at the top of boards.There is a good chance each is No. 1 for different teams, but Banchero should ultimately have the edge with the league's worst offense. It's a good situation for Banchero, who'd be playing with a star guard in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and one of the league's best passers in Josh Giddey.Smith and Holmgren both have legitimate cases here as well.
