00:00the pick is in at 15th overall our reigning NBA champs and the short favorites to go back to back

00:07next season the Thunder have selected out of Georgetown Thomas Sorber you see the numbers

00:12on your screen average 14 and a half points per game eight and a half boards per game in this

00:18season under Ed Cooley with the Hoyas and Kevin Tom I know Sorber was a prospect that you guys

00:25had identified early on that you were intrigued by where he might fall here in night number one of

00:31the NBA draft how do you like Thomas Sorber's landing spot playing with the reigning NBA champs

00:37eyes for me and a player who does cash the under on his draft position Tom at 15 and a half 16 and a

00:47half barely cashing in and I think it's a great spot uh the depth that he brings you never know

00:52depth especially but him playing a different role compared to what Chet plays I think is gonna be

00:58interesting and how they eventually weave it in between him Chet and Harnstein is gonna be

01:02interesting and I'm wondering how he gets involved in the non-Chet minutes are they going to look to

01:09feed him the ball are they just gonna say hey we just want you out there like what will his role

01:14actually be what I would say with Oklahoma City though is last year a lottery selection and it

01:18took Nikola Topic yeah didn't play due to injury they didn't need him to play now I don't think

01:23Sorber is projected to need to miss a year but he didn't finish his season at Georgetown due to a foot

01:28injury and with a big man you would never want to rush him back I'm not saying Sorber won't play this

01:33season this is not a guy who's going to be heavily used though for OKC this year
