The Thunder made some improvement as the year went on and this week's draft will there will be more improvement. Although there is a lot of speculation on who they will take at #3, let's take a look at how successful the third and 25th picks have been.
The third pick has actually been more successful than the second pick. In the past 14 drafts, the second pick has produced 5 all stars, 10 starters, 3 bench players and a total bust, while the 3rd pick has produced 7 all starts, 11 starters, 3 bench players and no busts. So that's a 50% chance that OKC will get an all-star.
Of the past 14 drafts, 2 players have become starts and 4 others bench players. Close to 50-50 of finding a player that will improve this team.
