Draft night is over and after using two picks, there are now three new Thunder players. While the addition of Cason Wallace from Kentucky, Keyontae Johnson from Kansas State, and the contract of Davis Bertans are the headlines, there was actually a lot of intrigue involving OKC beyond that.

The Thunder night actually started at pick seven when the Indiana Pacers were on the clock to make their pick. A “Woj bomb” disrupted the event as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted out the news that the pick had been traded. In the first trade of the night, the Washington Wizards—whose decision making has recently been taken over by Michael Winger, a Sam Presti acolyte – moved up a single spot to select French professional Bilal Coulibaly.
