During the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago, speculation surrounds Cameron Boozer, a top prospect potentially sought after by the Oklahoma City Thunder, who may trade their #12 and #17 picks to move up for him. Analysts suggest Boozer could be the first overall pick due to his impressive performance at Duke and previous levels, with comparisons to Nikola Jokic for his passing and basketball IQ. Meanwhile, AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson are expected to go second and third, respectively, if Boozer is drafted first. OKC’s significant draft capital may allow them to secure a deal with Washington if Boozer rises in the draft rankings.
