Mock Draft: Thunder Land Forward of Future

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a huge night on Tuesday as they finally find out where their picks in the 2021 NBA Draft will land. With a need to select another franchise cornerstone, the 2021 NBA Draft will truly determine how quickly the Thunder can once again become a contender. Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman recently released his latest mock draft, which has the Thunder selecting perhaps the best forward in the draft.

We won't know where the Oklahoma City's picks will fall until Tuesday, but we do know that they have a really good shot at landing a top-five pick. In fact, the Thunder could end up with one, two or zero top-five picks depending on what happens in Tuesday's draft lottery.

The top five prospects in the class seem already be set, but from there, things could get interesting.

Let's take a look at the lottery (picks 1-14) of Wasserman's recent mock draft and who is projected to be taken near the Thunder's potential picks.
