Round 1 - Pick 25 - Oklahoma City Thunder

[emplep7]

With the 25th pick in the CSL Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder select...


SG Nick Smith Jr.

[GreenBear]

Excellent pick. Really surprised he lasted this long given his outside shooting and aggressive scoring ability. Not the greatest defender, but will force TOs. Rock solid handles will allow him to play either guard position.

NSJ is a different strain of Jared McCain, so to speak. A massive ball hog with some major upside as a perimeter scorer, Smith is more likely to wind up an extremely dangerous shooter, and isn't far from it now. Might set some FT% records if he gets enough to qualify. However, where McCain could become well-rounded, NSJ has some brutal weaknesses, mainly his decision making as a passer and on defense. If Smith is on, he can win you a game piling on three after three, but he can just as easily shoot you out of a winnable game and has nothing to fall back on.
