Oklahoma City Thunder

Domantas Sabonis, PF (11) *via Orlando, Daniel Hamilton, SF (56) *via Denver

Serge Ibaka was perhaps the biggest-name player to be traded on draft night, but for OKC the return was easily worth it.  Oklahoma City got a talented young player in Victor Oladipo, and the 11th pick in the draft Domantis Sabonis out of the deal.  If Kevin Durant leaves Oklahoma City, this is a great move to soften the blow, and it’s a step toward recovery from losing a top 5 talent in the league.

Draft Grade: A-

Next: Orlando Magic
