The Oklahoma City Thunder are in Las Vegas to participate in the league-wide 2024 summer league. One of the multi-week event traditions is the official photoshoots hosted for each team’s rookie class.
This year, the Thunder’s 2024 NBA draft haul featured three players. OKC added Nikola Topic with the No. 12 pick, Dillon Jones with the No. 26 pick and Ajay Mitchell with the No. 38 pick.
Topic will sit out his first season as he rehabs a partially torn ACL. Jones and Mitchell will suit up their rookie campaigns but will likely see little playing time on a title contender. Instead, both can see action with the G League’s OKC Blue.
Let’s look at some of the best photos from the photoshoot of the Thunder’s trio of rookies.
