Could the OKC Thunder land the Duke basketball star center to add size?
The Oklahoma City Thunder aren't using the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft to address any necessities or needs. The team went 57-25 and was the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. To claim they need to add a player ready to help the team win immediately or banking on the selection to patch any holes is ignoring the situation at hand.
Evidently, Filipowski had an impressive two seasons with Duke, though he was never fully maximized and his true versatility wasn't put on display on a consistent basis. Having started each of the 72 games as a Blue Devil, Filipowski averaged 15.8 career points in college basketball. With Jaylin Williams on the roster heading into his third season, the team has an option as a backup center. Filipowski adds size and keeps versatility, though, with real potential help on the boards. It would be a bit of a gamble of a pick in terms of fit and all, but, again, the Thunder can afford to do such.
