All intrigue revolves around the Thunder's injury statuses. They drafted Thomas Sorber with the No. 12 pick and Brooks Barnhizer with the No. 44 pick.

Brooks Barnhizer’s Northwestern career ended prematurely, but he made a little history as the first former Wildcat to be picked in the NBA draft this century.
