Report: Sam Presti, Nick Collison spotted at UConn vs. Kansas game

The highest-anticipated college basketball game on Friday was the clash between No. 4 UConn at No. 5 Kansas.

The top-five ranked showdown featured Kansas collecting a 69-65 win over UConn. The game featured several highly-touted potential prospects for the 2024 NBA draft, including Donovan Clingan, Stephon Castle, Alex Karaban and Kevin McCullar Jr.

Kansas came away with a 69-65 home win over UConn. The Jayhawks are now 7-1 on the season while the Huskies dropped to 7-1.

Such a talented game warrants a high turnout for NBA team representatives. That was the case as all 30 teams had at least one scout at the contest.

For the Oklahoma City Thunder, this included general manager Sam Presti and front office member Nick Collison, who played his college ball at Kansas, per Yahoo’s Krysten Peek.

While the Thunder’s first-round pick likely won’t be in the lottery, they have several other ways to get in that range — including the LA Clippers’ unprotected first-round pick and the Houston Rockets’ top-four protected pick.
