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 Providence’s Jabri Abdur-Rahim. He reportedly met with the Thunder for a predraft workout, per HoopsHype. He could be a late second-round target or even an undrafted free agent.
Abdur-Rahim played in five college seasons from 2020-25. He spent his first year at Virginia before transferring to Georgie for his next three campaigns. Finally, his last stop was at Providence.
Abdur-Rahim averaged 7.2 points on 37.6% shooting, 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 22 games last season. He shot 36.6% from 3 on 4.2 attempts. He was also an 87.5% free-throw shooter. The 23-year-old is a 6-foot-8, 220-pound guard.
The Thunder could likely add Abdur-Rahim with the No. 44 selection. They could also wait it out for undrafted free agency. Either way, they should be able to easily sign him. He’d likely be a summer league invite. If he impresses enough, he could be added to the G League’s OKC Blue roster.
