The 2025 NBA draft is a couple of days away. Which means it’s that time of the year when prospects visit teams across the league to improve their stock.
The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2025 NBA draft with three draft picks. They own the No. 15 pick (via Heat), No. 24 pick (via Clippers) and the No. 44 pick (via Hawks).
The two first-round picks are interesting. The Thunder already have one of the deepest rosters. Fresh off a championship, don’t expect much roster turnover. Adding on several rookies might be impossible. But that’s all a pure assumption. Maybe OKC falls in love with a prospect in that range.
One possibility is BYU’s Egor Demin. He reportedly met with the Thunder for a predraft workout, per HoopsHype. He’s the highest-rated prospect OKC has publicly known to have met.
Demin spent one college season at BYU from 2024-25. He averaged 10.6 points on 41.2% shooting, 5.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds. He shot 27.3% from 3 on 4.7 attempts. He was also a 69.5% free-throw shooter. The 19-year-old is a 6-foot-9, 190-pound guard.
The Thunder would likely need to move up if they wanted to add Demin. If not, they’d better hope he falls to the 15th pick. He’s been viewed as one of the best prospects in his class for a while. One shaky year won’t scare off too many teams.
