The first trade of the 2022 NBA draft occurred when Ousmane Dieng was selected No. 11 overall originally by the Knicks. However, the Thunder traded with New York to acquire the French player, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
While the trade reportedly includes three future conditional first-round picks heading to New York, Oklahoma City held on to the No. 12 pick, selecting Jalen Williams out of Santa Clara University.
