After a thrilling half-hour of television, the Oklahoma City Thunder have learned they're picking from their favorite spot once again. They will own the No. 12 pick of the 2026 NBA draft via the LA Clippers.
The Thunder will have the No. 12 pick and No. 17 pick. The latter comes from the Philadelphia 76ers. It's the latest lottery pick gifted to them from another NBA franchise. It'll be interesting to see how OKC navigates this pickle of a situation. The roster is pretty stacked, so they might not necessarily bring in a heavy draft class.
During this decade, the Thunder have had a handful of premium first-round picks given to them. Jalen Williams was the No. 12 pick in the 2022 NBA draft via the Clippers. Nikola Topic was the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NBA draft via the Houston Rockets. And Thomas Sorber was the No. 15 pick in the 2025 NBA draft via the Miami Heat.
Think there's a good possibility the Thunder package their draft picks or at least punt them into the future. They've used that strategy in recent years to extend their draft control window. The 2026 NBA draft lottery results were:
- 1. Washington Wizards
- 2. Utah Jazz
- 3. Memphis Grizzlies
- 4. Chicago Bulls
- 5. LA Clippers (via Indiana Pacers)
- 6. Brooklyn Nets
- 7. Sacramento Kings
- 8. Atlanta Hawks
- 9. Dallas Mavericks
- 10. Milwaukee Bucks
- 11. Golden State Warriors
- 12. Oklahoma City Thunder (via LA Clippers)
- 13. Miami Heat
- 14. Charlotte Hornets
The 2026 NBA draft will take place from June 23-24.
