OKC Thunder 2025 NBA Draft live updates: Pick results, trade rumors for Round 2
The 2025 NBA draft is here. The two-day event moves onto Thursday, June 26. Fresh off an NBA championship, the Oklahoma City Thunder enter this year's class with three draft picks.
The Thunder had a quiet first round. They selected Georgetown's Thomas Sorber with the No. 15 pick. They then traded away the No. 24 pick to the Sacramento Kings for a 2027 first-round pick (via Spurs). The protections were not released, but it's reportedly a top-16 protected pick.
The Thunder enter the second round with the No. 44 pick (via Hawks). Of course, they could easily move up and down throughout Day 2 if needed.
It's one of the busiest days in the league. Plenty of transactions have already happened and will continue to do so. Rebuild teams will hope to add young talent while contenders will sell off their draft capital for win-now moves. The Thunder are in a rare sweet spot where they can do both.

Full details on Thunder-Kings trade
The Thunder kicked the can down the road with their late first-round pick from the Clippers. Not a ton of upside from what they received from the Kings, but the champion roster has too many players under contract already to take on a loaded draft class.
Thoughts on Thomas Sorber
While the Thunder were busy chasing a championship, they kept their draft board up to date. Sorber was their sole first-round pick. He was a one-and-done prospect from Georgetown. The 19-year-old has been out since February with foot surgery.
