OKC is allergic to pluralized names, that is my main takeaway here.

Even true when you include the Shock moving to Tulsa before they went to Dallas.

Hard to find a lot of info on this draft. Wondered if Teske or Matthews got picked.

Here is the draft result. Most teams passed after the first round.

Forgive my ignorance as I don’t follow pro basketball. Why would a team pass on drafting someone?

Good Luck to Simpson!
Hopefully, he'll be able to stick...
Still heartbroken that he and Teske didn't get one more chance for one more "one shining moment"
