Draft picks

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College 1 12 Aday Mara C Spain Michigan 1 17 Ebuka Okorie PG United States Stanford 2 37 Ryan Conwell SG United States Louisville The Thunder entered the draft holding two first-round selections and one second-round selection, all acquired through previous trades. The lottery selection that landed 12th was obtained from the Los Angeles Clippers as the final asset from the 2019 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander trade. Meanwhile, the mid-first-round selection was acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers as part of a 2020 trade, finally conveyed when Philadelphia qualified for the 2026 NBA playoffs after being deferred from 2025 due to landing within its top-six protection range. The second-round selection was acquired from the Dallas Mavericks in another 2020 trade. The Thunder had traded their original first- and second-round selections to Philadelphia (later conveyed to Dallas) and the Miami Heat (later conveyed to the Washington Wizards), respectively, both of which became the least favorable selections due to the Thunder clinching the previous season's league-best record.
