The 2025 NBA draft is less than a month 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 and are a championship contender right now. 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 Utah’s Gabe Madsen. He had a predraft workout with the Thunder, per Utah sports media member Steve Bartle. He could be a possible late second-round selection or an undrafted free agent.
Madsen played in five college seasons from 2020-25. He spent his first year at Cincinnati before transferring to Utah for his final four campaigns.
Madsen averaged 15.2 points on 37.1% shooting, 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season. He shot 32.2% from 3 on 9.5 attempts. He was an 85.4% free-throw shooter.
The Thunder could likely add Madsen from the undrafted pool. From there, he can audition for the summer league squad. Maybe even the G League’s OKC Blue.
