Thunder Trade Up for Stirtz

Oklahoma City shocks the draft with a bold trade to land Iowa’s Bennett Stirtz at 16, a guard who averaged nearly 20 points and 4 assists while leading his team to the Elite Eight—after going undrafted out of high school and transferring twice. Meanwhile, Memphis shuffles down five spots to snag Karim López, the first Mexican-born first-rounder, while gaining five extra second-round picks. The Thunder also grab 7’3” center Aday Mara at 12, a potential cornerstone for their Western Conference push. A night of big moves, big surprises, and big futures.
