#12: OKC Thunder select Cody Williams 

Why not? 

The Thunder get the chance to add the brother of current forward Jalen Williams and grab a high upside player at the same time. 

He’d be an immediate fit as a guy who would give OKC bench depth at forward, which they need. 

And what better environment for him to thrive in than playing with his brother (who has a similar game) and the team that turned him into a star? 

If Williams falls this far (he might not make it past the Bulls), he’d be a no-brainer for OKC, who are going to be the team to beat in the NBA for the foreseeable future.
