The NBA regular season ends on Sunday, April 12.

As a result, multiple teams will shift their focus to the NBA Draft, preparing for what is touted as a historic 2026 class.

While the Oklahoma City Thunder still have plenty more to play for, OKC is also set to receive a pair of first-round picks in the upcoming draft and could add even more young talent to its roster.

Here's a look at who the Thunder have been projected to take in a few recent mock drafts.
