The 2023 NBA draft lottery is officially over, as it confirmed the Oklahoma City Thunder will pick No. 12 in the first round of the draft.
It’s also draft combine week, which means all of the top prospects are gathered in Chicago, Ill. This means that most players will likely be asked who they’ve worked out and met with so far.
The Thunder have met and worked out Connecticut forward Adama Sanogo, per BSO’s Daniel Bell.

The 21-year-old averaged 17.2 points on 60.6% shooting, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 39 games last season. He also shot 36.5% from 3 on 1.3 attempts. He spent three college seasons at UConn from 2020 to 2023, where he played a vital role in their 2023 national championship.
Sanogo is currently projected by most mock drafts to go in the second round, which means the Thunder will likely get a chance to select him at No. 37 or No. 50 if he falls that far.
The 2023 NBA draft is scheduled to happen on Thursday, June 22. A full list of prospects who’ve met with the Thunder can be read here.
