2023 NBA Mock Draft

The Thunder might be in the best position of any team not named San Antonio. They have a ton of young talent, Chet Holmgren will be back, they have a chest full of draft picks, a young 1st-team All NBA’er and already made the play-in tournament this season.

They could try to move this pick and a future one for another veteran to put around their young core, but adding Wallace also makes some sense.

They have the top-end offensive talent already and can keep adding guys like Wallace, tough defenders who will do anything that is needed to win. Wallace is a big point guard prospect who can do a little of everything and projects as a potentially high-end defender.
