NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Draft using the current NBA lottery position
Detroit Pistons: Mock Draft 3.0 pick No. 6
player. 149. Scouting Report. Scottie Barnes. 6. Pick Analysis. Forward. Florida State / Oklahoma City Thunder
If you pretend to know what the Thunder will do in the NBA Draft you are fooling yourself.
The Thunder have the NBA’s youngest team, and though they have some intriguing talent, they are still a long way from being good.
The Thunder appear to be building around versatile players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Alekseq Pokusevski, who are both playmakers without a real position.
Barnes would give them another versatile player maker, as he often played more of a point-forward role at Florida State.
He would be an interesting get for them, as he is solid on both ends and would give them another dawg of a defender to go with Luguentz Dort.
There is also a really good chance that the Thunder would trade out of this spot if they don’t land in the top-five, as they need as much talent as they can get and love to horde draft picks.
