- Oklahoma City Thunder – Devin Booker, Kentucky SG
Probably one of the most underrated players in this draft, Devin Booker is a great fit for Oklahoma City. The one thing Oklahoma City needed when Kevin Durant went down was scoring, and while players like Russell Westbrook and Dion Waiters are solid, they can’t handle the load night in and night out. Adding Booker on this Thunder team makes the bench for new head coach Billy Donovan even better than before.
Booker was pretty consistent for the Kentucky Wildcats from the field, especially from beyond the arc. He shot 41% from deep and made big shots at the end of the regular season. But like most of the Kentucky players, against Wisconsin in the Final Four, he did not perform like he had all season long. But like most of the first round talent, his ceiling is high.
