The pick originated from the Toronto Raptors before being traded to the Houston Rockets in the Kyle Lowry trade.

The Thunder ended the night with the twelfth overall pick with only a 2.5% chance into moving into the top three. The Thunder also acquired a second-round pick from the Harden trade that ended up as the thirty-second pick, via the Bobcats. The Thunder traded their 2013 second-round pick in the Robert Vaden trade back in 2011.
On draft night, the Thunder traded the draft rights to Archie Goodwin, the twenty-ninth pick, and cash considerations to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for the draft rights to Andre Roberson, the twenty-sixth pick. The Thunder also traded for the draft rights to Grant Jerrett, the fortieth pick, from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for cash considerations.
