The Oklahoma City Thunder, holding the 12th and 17th picks in the upcoming draft, are reportedly looking to package these selections to move up. There are indications they are focusing on Duke power forward Cam Boozer, who is expected to be a top-three pick. A more feasible target could be 7-foot-3 Michigan center Aday Mara. The Thunder may also consider keeping one pick and using the other to acquire a future first-round pick. This strategy reflects their ongoing efforts to enhance the team's talent pool in a competitive draft.
