During the 2026 NBA Draft, Bennett Stirtz of the Iowa Hawkeyes was selected with the 16th overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies. But with the Thunder holding the 17th selection, Sam Presti wasn't going to let his guy get swiped from right under his nose -- he fired up the phone and made the trade, two second round picks to move up one single spot. With that Bennett Stirtz is the newest member of the Oklahoma City Thunder: a combo guard who can score both on and off the ball, brings an elite three point threat, and very capable playmaking to Bricktown. In today's video, Thunder Digest host Gabriel Ebersole breaks down the trade and highlights, film, and scouting report. He also heavily looks at Bennett Stirtz's path from 0-star recruit playing division II basketball to the Elite 8, his fit with the Oklahoma City Thunder, how trading up a single spot for Bennett Stirtz means Sam Presti believes he was head and shoulders above the remaining players, and the one player next out the door as a result of Stirtz's arrival. --- Thunder Digest covers the latest reports, news and rumors regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder.
