Report: Nevada's Kobe Sanders to have predraft workout with OKC Thunder
The 2025 NBA draft is a little over a month away. 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 selections are interesting. The Thunder already have one of the deepest rosters and a championship contender right now. 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 Nevada's Kobe Sanders. He will reportedly have a predraft workout with the Thunder, per Locked On's Rylan Stiles.
Sanders played in five college seasons from 2020-25. He played his first four seasons at Cal Poly before transferring to Nevada for his senior year.
Sanders averaged 15.8 points on 46% shooting, 4.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds. He shot 34.2% from 3 on 3.6 attempts. He also shot 79.5% on free throws. The 22-year-old is a 6-foot-9, 207-pound guard.
The Thunder could add Sanders with the No. 44 pick. He is projected as a second-round selection. He could rise up or down on draft boards before the 2025 NBA draft starts on June 25-26.
