Oklahoma City Thunder representatives attend 2026 NBL Blitz for Dash Daniels

Representatives from the Oklahoma City Thunder are in Bendigo, Australia, for the 2026 NBL Blitz tournament being held from September 2 to September 6. The team is scouting Dash Daniels, an 18-year-old guard projected as a lottery prospect for the 2027 NBA draft. Daniels, who plays for the South East Melbourne Phoenix, previously spent time at the BA Centre of Excellence and played for Melbourne United. Other NBA organizations, including the Golden State Warriors, Orlando Magic, Portland Trail Blazers, and Houston Rockets, also have personnel in attendance to monitor the prospect. The Thunder hold multiple potential future first-round draft assets, including picks and swap rights, which could impact the team's long-term roster construction.
