How many 2025 NBA Draft picks will OKC Thunder have? Complete breakdown, value projections

The 2024 NBA Draft is in the books.

The OKC Thunder added three players to its roster. It selected Serbia's Nikola Topic with the No. 12 pick, Weber State's Dillon Jones with the No. 26 pick and UC Santa Barbara's Ajay Mitchell with the No. 38 pick.

OKC was active, and it's poised to have even more picks to work with in the 2025 NBA Draft . As it stands, the Thunder will have up to four first-rounders at its disposal.

Here's a look at OKC's first-round picks in 2025 and how valuable they're expected to be:

2025 Oklahoma City first-round pick (own)

OKC has its own first-round pick in 2025.

It likely won't be too valuable, considering the Thunder went 57-25 last season and reached the Western Conference semifinals as the No. 1 seed. The team is now more experienced, it traded for an elite role player in Alex Caruso and it still has just over $31 million in cap space to make even more improvements this summer.

OKC's days of competing for a spot in the lottery are over. Now, it's competing for a title.

Projected pick range: No. 25-30

2025 Houston (top-10 protected) or Los Angeles Clippers first-round pick swap

OKC has the right to swap its 2025 first-round pick with either Houston (top-10 protected) or the Los Angeles Clippers' 2025 first-round pick.

Houston went 41-41 this past season, which was the 12th-worst record in the league. But the Rockets have the potential to compete for a play-in spot next season, and they could be even more competitive if reports of their interest in stars such as Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler are true.

The value of Los Angeles' pick is also difficult to project. The Clippers went 51-31 this past season and lost in the first round of the playoffs as the No. 4 seed, but they could be in for a down year if Paul George signs elsewhere this summer.

Projected Houston pick range: No. 12-17

Projected Los Angeles pick range: No. 19-24

2025 Miami first-round pick (lottery protected)

OKC owns Miami's 2025 first-round pick, although it's lottery protected (1-14).

Miami went 46-36 this past season, and it lost in the first round of the playoffs as the No. 8 seed. But Butler has decided not to sign an extension, leaving the door open for him to opt out of his player option next offseason and go elsewhere.

Miami could trade the 34-year-old forward at some point before then if it feels it can't re-sign him, which could result in it falling into the lottery. That wouldn't be the worst things since this pick will become unprotected in 2026 if it doesn't convey.

Projected pick range: No. 12-17

2025 Philadelphia first-round pick (top-six protected)

This top-six protected pick will surely convey for OKC.

Despite being without Joel Embiid for 43 games last season, Philadelphia still managed to go 47-35 and reach the first round of the playoffs as the No. 7 seed. The former MVP center is now back, and the 76ers have just over $61 million in cap space to put another star alongside him and Tyrese Maxey.

OKC will get this pick barring an even more injury-riddled season for Philadelphia, but don't expect it to be too valuable.

Projected pick range: No. 23-28

2025 Utah first-round pick (top-10 protected)

OKC has the rights to Utah's 2025 first-round pick, although it's top-10 protected.

The Jazz went 31-51 this past season, which was the eighth-worst record in the NBA, and it could finish in that same range next season. Utah is still a young team in a stacked Western Conference, plus it has more incentive to retain its own pick in a loaded 2025 draft than to compete for a play-in tournament spot.

If this pick doesn't convey, it'll become a top-eight protected pick in 2026. I believe that's the most likely outcome.

Projected pick range: No. 6-11
