Will the Oklahoma City Thunder draft yet another guard in the lottery?
The Oklahoma City Thunder is in an interesting spot with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The class is considered "weaker," though there's bound to be some strong talents, even if it's not in the top-five selections.
The team landed the No. 12 pick in the past two drafts, where they ended up taking Williams and Wallace, though they traded to the No. 10 pick to secure Wallace. "Carter has earned himself looks in the top 10 from teams, including San Antonio and Memphis, who value his reliability, toughness and all-around readiness to step in and contribute immediately," Woo wrote. "He brings quite a bit to the table defensively, has made strides as a shooter and plays with a nonstop motor, making him a particularly appealing choice for teams angling to compete sooner rather than later.
Shooting is a must for any player who wants to excel within the Thunder's offensive system, which relies on paint touches and plenty of drives. Carter has improved in a big way in the category, and he would only improve more with Chip Engelland as his shooting coach.
