Sam Presti to represent Thunder in 2023 NBA draft lottery drawing room

The 2023 NBA draft lottery is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, which means we’re a day away from finding out where the Oklahoma City Thunder will select in the first round.

In all likelihood, it’ll be at No. 12. OKC owns an 85.2% chance of landing at that spot. The Thunder own a 1.7% chance of getting the No. 1 pick and an 8% chance of landing a top-four pick overall.

For a second consecutive year, the Thunder will be represented by former player and current front-office member Nick Collison when the lottery is televised.

In the actual drawing room though, it’ll be Thunder general manager Sam Presti who’ll be among the first to know how exactly the lottery plays out.

The full list of drawing room representatives for all 14 NBA teams can be viewed below:

The 2023 NBA draft lottery is set to start on Tuesday, May 16 at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN.
