The 2026 NBA draft is right around the corner. Only a handful of days remain until teams across the league get a chance to add youth to their rosters during the two-day event. By the end of it, we've officially returned to square one as everybody is optimistic about their short-term and long-term futures.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will get a chance to add some fresh faces to their rotation. The ***** le contender enters with three premium picks — No. 12 via the LA Clippers; No. 17 via the Philadelphia 76ers; No. 37 via the Dallas Mavericks.
To prepare for the 2026 NBA draft, let's look at five second-round options the Thunder could add to their group. Of course, the second day is the fun one, where draft boards are all over the place:
Jefferson played in four collegiate seasons. His first two year Saint Mary's and his last two at Iowa State. At the latter, he cemented himself as their top scorer. He averaged 16.4 points on 47.1% shooting, 7.4 rebounds and 4.8 ***** ists. He also shot 34.5% from 3 on 3.1 attempts. The 22-year-old is a 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward.
Jefferson has an inside-dependent scoring game. Not a whole lot of shooting exists with him. Still, he ***** ped his way around the paint. That helped him get 6.1 free-throw attempts at the college level last year. He has an old-school build that revolves around finesse and smart decision-making. At this point, he's maxed out his physical tools. Don't expect him to be an athletic freak who jumps out of the gym.
