Pistons Palace NBA mock draft post lottery
By Joe Dexter
21. Oklahoma City Thunder
Jusuf Nurkic, F, KK Cedevita (Croatia)
Kenrdick Perkins isn’t going to get it done any more. Stephen Adams is going to take a while to develop as an offensive threat. Serge Ibaka is a free agent in 2017.
Nurkic is a perfect project player that the Thunder can keep in Europe and let develop for a season. He plays the game like and old school post threat, which is always refreshing. It’d be interesting to see that fit in OKC’s approach as well.
