How many first-round draft picks will the Thunder have through 2026?
The exact number will be determined by pick protection results, but Oklahoma City could have up to 17 first-round selections through 2026. That’s more than two per year. If the Rockets, 76ers or Clippers become bad in the coming years, it’s possible they will wind up with multiple lottery picks in more than one season.
