The 2025 NBA draft is a couple of days away. Which means it's that time of the year when prospects visit teams across the league to improve their stock.

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2025 NBA draft with three draft picks. They own the No. 15 pick (via Heat), No. 24 pick (via Clippers) and the No. 44 pick (via Hawks).

The two first-round picks are interesting. The Thunder already have one of the deepest rosters. Fresh off a championship, don't expect much roster turnover. Adding on several rookies might be impossible. But that's all a pure assumption. Maybe OKC falls in love with a prospect in that range.

One possibility is Baylor's Norchad Omier. He reportedly met with the Thunder for a predraft workout, per HoopsHype.

Omier played in five college seasons from 2020-25. He played his first two years at Arkansas State before transferring to Miami for the next two seasons. He played out his final campaign at Baylor.

Omier averaged 15.7 points on 55.6% shooting, 10.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He shot 29% from 3 on two attempts. He was also a 75% free-throw shooter. The 23-year-old is a 6-foot-7, 240-pound forward.

The Thunder could target Omier late in the second round with the No. 44 pick. He could also be somebody they chase after in undrafted free agency. Either way, the best-case scenario is that he spends most of his first year on the G League's OKC Blue.

A full list of draft prospects that met with the Thunder can be checked here. The 2025 NBA draft is from June 25-26.
