The OKC Approach

[Almighty_Finn]

The OKC approach did not start of as well as it should have. They Got Durant but then traded for Jeff Green who was horrible in that system. They should have picked Noah....but who knows everything?

If the celts decide to trade Rondo then I believe it will happen draft night. And if we do that we might as well trade Jeff Green. Exum, Vonleh i think will be perennial all stars. If we get lucky and draft Embiid, and then swing for the stars to get exam and vonleh, that would b insane...plus we have 17th pick

That's what I've been kicking around. The lottery will help figure out those minor details and potential trade partners.

The OKC Approach should really be called The San Antonio Approach.  At least they won a championship with all their high draft picks

Trying to keep it hip and modern, but that's fair. Hopefully if it everything falls into place that it's more SA than OKC

I'm pretty high on Wiggins and think he has a very good chance to get close to Durant's level, but the next great player... Thon Maker

Definitely needs polishing, but players can work on their shots. His leaping ability and quickness are special.

Ben Simmons too

There is no Durant in this draft and there might be one for a few years.  OKC had a lot of luck.

I know that OKC had some very solid draft choices in Westbrook, Ibaka, Harden, and even Green (who was selected 5th, but is probably 6th best in his class), but isn't Durant the only one that really really matters? I mean, OKC didn't a great job drafting, but they potentially could have traded their other high draft choices for star type players and would probably be in a similar situation that they are now.

Basically all I am saying is you just need one Durant - the rest will work itself out.
