The Oklahoma City Thunder still control the No. 12 pick after the blockbuster swap that landed them Alex Caruso, how does this move impact their draft strategy?
Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls for defensive ace Alex Caruso. This summer-time stunner puts Oklahoma City in line to have one of the league's best defenses and provides a series upgrade as an outside shooter who can attack off the catch as needed.
Still, the feeling is the Oklahoma City Thunder will select the best player available given top decision-maker Sam Presti's history in the draft. However, some common names linked to the Thunder in this draft have been names such as Providence guard Devin Carter, Duke guard Jared McCain and even Ja'Kobe Walter and Kyshawn George as underrated targets to watch.
Adding another guard into the fold would be hard, while not impossible, it would make sense for the OKC Thunder to pivot away from a player like Carter who fits a similar mold of Dort, Wallace and Caruso.
