The OKC Thunder have selected Kentucky's Otega Oweh with the 41st pick of the 2026 NBA Draft.
18.6 PTS, 4.8 REB, 2.7 AST, 1.8 STL for the Wildcats this season.
Needs to improve as a shooter, but brings toughness, defense, athleticism, and downhll scoring to the table.
The Thunder have signed Creighton guard Josh Dix to a two-way deal, per @ShamsCharania.
Dix averaged 13.2 points on 43.9% shooting (33.8% from three), along with 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game as a senior for the Blue Jays last season.

JUST IN: The Hornets are in active trade talks with multiple teams on LaMelo Ball โ as a trade could come together over the next 24-48 hours.

ESPNโs @BenGolliver names OKC as his NBA title contender that โhelped itself the most on Tuesday night.โ
โSam Presti's Thunder have the draft process down to a science. With a payroll set to balloon this summer, Presti added Michigan center Aday Mara (No. 12) and Iowa guard Bennett Stirtz (No. 16) to address clear positional needs. The 7-foot-3 Mara can look forward to countless battles with Spurs star Victor Wembanyama over the next half-decade, and Stirtz's reliable 3-point shooting and disruptive defense could make him a fan favorite.โ
