The Truth about the Oklahoma City Thunder rebuild: OKC's future draft picks and young core

nigga reminds me of Kawhi in his early years

#FadeForCadeFam. Im praying for Cade and either of the Jalens.

[@riroballs]

Dreams are one step closer now Fam! 💪🔥⚡

[@isiahkempiii3422]

Mark my words Jalen green will be better then Suggs

[@riroballs]

You may be right. Green looks like he has a waaay higher ceiling than a lot of prospects in recent drafts

[@tombystander]

I'll take any of the top 5. All the teams in the playoffs now who r a lock for the 2nd round have a dominant big man so mobley would be great as well.

[@scootover7]

@@isiahkempiii3422 I only have two players who will be changers of a franchise Cade and Green. Suggs will be an added piece but won't move the needle, I don't see anyone outside of Cade and Green that will be a go to guy first option, but I could be wrong and someone in this draft may end up surprising me, I completely agree with your thought

[@mytbeats]

I'm Argentinian and I got so frustrated watching OKC, until I understood the politics of the league and what tanking was. I hope they use Gaby next season and give him some quality minutes

[@riroballs]

Gaby Deck is gonna get tons of minutes next season man. He's a beast

[@mytbeats]

​@@riroballs He has a lot more to show and his heart and guts can be very contagious and important for the young players.

[@ianraguse6455]

@@mytbeats i just know about his history of winning and think that matters more than his stats even. Think he'll be a good influence

[@matttinsley9454]

Still praying for that top 3 pick 🙏if not, we trade up and get it! It's absolutely worth paying up for atleast one of those players in the top 3. We can worry about the other picks later down the road. The way the clippers are going at the moment...... those picks may kick in alot sooner if the claw leaves 👀

[@riroballs]

I agree bruh. Presti knows what to do. Lezgow!

I'll figure that out bro! Thanks for the suggestion 🙏⚡

[@scootover7]

Can you imagine a backcourt of Cade Cunningham and Shai Gilgeous Alexander, that would be fun to watch . I picked the Thunder on NBA 2k21, and I have Cade, Bryce Thompson (who grew to 6 ft 7 on the game) Cam Fletcher, Marvin Bagley (who I signed to a 4 year 84 million deal, with the fourth year being team option) and Moussa Cisse as my starting five, second unit I have DJ Stewart, Scottie Lewis, Nassir Little, Aleksej Pokusuvski and Chase Wolfe in my second unit, then my last three Ty Jerome (who doesn't want to be here anymore) , Aaron Henry, Romeo Weems, LeAndro Aguilar, as the rest of my roster, year three I'm off to a 7-1 start. I have moments where I could try and play three seven footers at once, and after next one, I'm hoping to either be able to go small or big which would be scary, most of the other young pieces I either let go or traded for draft picks , Cade is the main guy I want to be able to throw a lot of money at , I also have three first round picks in the up and coming draft, so hopefully I can add another point guard to replace Ty Jerome, and add either a pf or center, and then a small forward for when Nassir Little leaves in the offseason . I also want to throw some but not as much money as Cade to Pokusevski because a 7 foot forward who can handle is rare, and I can play him at 3,4 or even at times I've tried him at the 5 and done okay. My average age for my team is 21 , so I want to try to win with young fresh legs on the court , after I get Cade locked up and hopefully Pokusevksi for about 12-15 million a year, then I want to see what my other guys do, and then go from there and maybe go for a vet or two.

[@riroballs]

Amazing build man! ⚡

[@bigzsakuragi6963]

Imagine OKC gets the no.1 pick & drafting CADE CUNNINGHAM then trading for FRANZ WAGNER wherever he lands. Damn🔥 PG: Case Cunningham SG: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander SF: Franz Wagner PF: Aleksev Pokusevski C: Moses Brown

[@bigzsakuragi6963]

They will be like SHAZAM 5 hahaha

[@riroballs]

Great lineup man. But I have to put Dort at the 3 there. Wagner has great 2-way potential though

[@milltikkit9993]

I will love Cade to come

[@riroballs]

For sure. He is a real talent mate

[@Yytdzbwhgajrb]

Now that Kembas on the team

[@melvinsmith1176]

I wish they kept Moses Brown a lil longer.. They would've got a better deal by letting him develope 3 years in OKC.. He'll be a 16pt 10reb 2blocks per game player next year let alone 3 more years at 7ft 2in tall...Boston got over on em..plus they dumped Kemba's $37million per season off😂 Brad Stevens learned well from Danny Ainge

[@riroballs]

Yeah man. This tells us that Presti specifically needs that additional 16th overall this year. He up to something

[@melvinsmith1176]

@@riroballs both of em are criminal masterminds😂

[@lakadima]

Kuminga or Green ⚡️

[@robthe3rdrh3]

that 6th being 27 is combined with the odds of the rockets getting it isn’t it?

I'm not a hundred percent sure man but yeah I think so

Yesssiirrrrr

[@riroballs]

Hey fam! 💪

[@ianraguse6455]

If we have 3 top 15 picks we should try Kuminga too

[@riroballs]

Yeah man. It all depends if he'll be available when we're picking though

[@isiahkempiii3422]

I want davion Mitchell, Mobley, or Johnny juzang

[@riroballs]

Juzang is nice!

[@dequandaniels7612]

I’ll be happy with jalen Suggs

[@riroballs]

Suggs is nice for sure!

[@jophilmadrigal1147]

if okc lands the 2nd pick, who is the best player to draft bro? green or mobley?

[@JJ-uj4eg]

Or trade up to #1 lol

[@riroballs]

I'd go with Mobley based on potential alone bro. But Green is a close pick

[@scootover7]

I'm thinking Mobley will take a bit longer to develop, and I say within year two (maybe even the first year) Jalen Green is going to be that go to guy , 20-25 points per game scorer,

[@joshlynch6]

Green

[@tgas7464]

now they have kemba

[@riroballs]

Yes sir!

[@zerocrane]

you had me until you started talking about m brown and d bazley

[@riroballs]

Both of them are nice mate!

[@wixse.quisee]

You sleep fam dont look at numbers look at talent

[@zerocrane]

@@wixse.quisee I’m only looking at talent. Moses has no talent and no potential. Baze has a small amount of talent and a small amount of potential.

[@wixse.quisee]

@@zerocrane Baze and Poku is virtually the same in potential and talent. Brown is talented and good at what we need for his position. He blocks and rebounds well, which is really all we need him to do. We know he is a liability in PNR but his rebounding and Interior Def makes up for it. Not to mention he is legit 7' 2 or 7'3 and he is young. He is the thunder's whiteside to a degree. Whiteside seems washed or like he was overrated but he actually was solid before injuries. Again, not a superstar but a solid starting center for sure. What can Gobert do that Brown cant. People say Gobert trash but he won DPOY multiple times and has been in the running almost every year lately.

[@zerocrane]

@@wixse.quisee Baze and Poku are equally talented right now... Poku's potential is SO MUCH higher.

The Thunder only have an 11.5% chance to land the #1 pick, not a 12.5% chance.

[@riroballs]

Yeah man. I stand corrected

[@ryanb7186]

@@riroballs Good video though. I am not as high on some of the other young Thunder players as you are, but Shai already looks like a top 25 player and can obviously still get a lot better, given he is only 22 years old. We will learn a lot more about the rebuild's trajectory after the draft and the trades that occur before, during, and after it.

[@riroballs]

Thanks man. I get you. All I know is that probably half of all the young guys will be gone in a year or two anyway

First let me say this you keep the wrong coach for too long you were cheap (you see KD Harden playing together )you keep Westbrook aka westbrick you didn't know what you had in KD And Harden you have had too many good players come and go thur your team all of your first round pick were not different makers except for Westbrook KD and James all the players that been on the okc rosters we should be in championship contention every year wrong coaches cheap owner bad GM player choices and you end up like the thunder the okc thunder should have never had to be tanking can you imagine if we would have paid James got rid of Russ I mean I will not pass to KD Westbrook even the warriors did and they had Curry and Clay hire a real NBA coach fire the GM who bought us to this point because you can't get rid of the owner or always be a losing team When you had a NBA destiny at one time wow time to rest text rest my fingers that is the whole truth about the tanking okc thunder facts
