Report: Georgetown's Micah Peavy had predraft workout with Thunder
The 2025 NBA draft is a day away. Which means it's that time of the year when prospects visit teams across the league to improve their stock.
The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2025 NBA draft with three draft picks. They own the No. 15 pick (via Heat), No. 24 pick (via Clippers) and the No. 44 pick (via Hawks).
The two first-round picks are interesting. The Thunder already have one of the deepest rosters. Fresh off a championship, don't expect much roster turnover. Adding on several rookies might be impossible. But that's all a pure assumption. Maybe OKC falls in love with a prospect in that range.
One possibility is Georgetown's Micah Peavy. He reportedly had a predraft workout with the Thunder, per Locked On's Rylan Stiles.
Peavy played five college seasons from 2020-25. He spent his first year at Texas Tech before transferring to TCU for his next three campaigns. His final year was at Georgetown.
Peavy averaged 17.2 points on 48.1% shooting, 5.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32 games last season. He shot 40% from 3 on 4.1 attempts. He was also a 65.9% free-throw shooter. He also had 2.3 steals. The 23-year-old is a 6-foot-8, 220-pound guard.
The Thunder could add Peavy with the No. 44 pick in the second round. Or they could likely wait it out and add him as an undrafted free agent. He likely needs to impress in summer league to get added to the G League's OKC Blue roster.
A full list of draft prospects that met with the Thunder can be checked here. The 2025 NBA draft is from June 25-26.

Why Ace Bailey may slide in the 2025 NBA Draft
The idea that Ace Bailey may slide in the 2025 NBA Draft would've sounded ridiculous just a month or two ago. As a Rutgers freshman, Bailey averaged 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists with 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steal per game. He was must-see TV alongside Dylan Harper, and though the Scarlet Knights missed the NCAA Tournament, help prove the program could still develop talent. Things change fast in this league — even before you're officially part of it. In his final mock draft, For The Win senior NBA writer Bryan Kalbrosky had Bailey sliding to the Brooklyn Nets at No. 8 overall. 2025 NBA Mock Draft 8.0: Final predictions and updated intel for all 59 picks Come Wednesday, it'll be anyone's guess where Bailey falls in the draft after some alarming intel came out during the pre-draft process. Most notably, Bailey refused to work outs for NBA teams and reportedly canceled on the Philadelphia 76ers after agreeing to get on the court for them. That came after he measured much lower than anticipated (6-foot-7) at the NBA Combine. More, per Sam Vecenie via The Athletic: The intel that NBA teams have on Bailey, from having spoken with over a dozen sources throughout the season and pre-draft process, is that his teammates enjoyed being around him. He has a lot of infectious energy. But he's a bit immature and can struggle with focus, those sources said. His pre-draft interviews with teams at the NBA Draft Combine did not go particularly well, as it seemed like he went into them a bit ill-prepared for what was being asked of him, according to sources. Taken together, even Bailey's undeniable talents may not be enough to get him back into Top 3 pick territory. We'll find out soon enough.

Why Derik Queen may slide in the 2025 NBA Draft
For quite awhile it seemed like Maryland's magical run to the Sweet Sixteen would serve as a launchpad for Derik Queen to hear his name called early on during the 2025 NBA Draft. Despite some incredible highlights during the NCAA Tournament, it seems that narrative has run out of juice and some concerns around his game may have impacted his draft stock. For The Win's Bryan Kalbrosky's final mock draft has Queen at No. 7 overall to New Orleans, but If center slides out of the lottery on Wednesday night, it won't be a huge shock. 2025 NBA Mock Draft 8.0: Final predictions and updated intel for all 59 picks To understand why, first start with Queen's NBA Combine results. He measured a bit undersized for a center at 6'9.25' barefoot. He ranked last among all participants in lane agility time (12.45 seconds), tied for worst in standing vertical (23.5 inches), second-worst in shuttle run (3.27 seconds), second-worst in three-quarter sprint (3.52 seconds), and tied for second-worst in max vertical leap (28.0 inches). More, according to Jeremy Woo via ESPN: Queen continues to receive mixed feedback on the workout circuit, with questions still hovering over his conditioning, shooting mechanics and competitive on-off switch. Although he is regarded as the most skilled big in the class offensively, he doesn't appear to be maximizing some of the factors within his control and, as a result, hasn't gathered much upward momentum during the pre-draft process. Perhaps most concerning was a quote given by a Western Conference scout to David Aldridge of The Athletic: 'Nice kid. Heavy emphasis on kid. We interviewed him, and he's 19 going on 14. He can do one thing: he can score. But you don't want to have to rely on a rookie scoring for you to contribute.' The Baltimore native averaged 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and shot 52.6 percent from the floor as a freshman last season. That might be more than enough reason for a team to grab him early. If not, he'll make a another club very happy with his slide.
