Thunder selected Ryan Conwell with the No. 37 pick in the NBA Draft.
In what has become a more common occurrence in this era of college basketball, Conwell played for four different schools in his four seasons. He saved his best for last, averaging 18.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 30.9 minutes per game at Louisville in 2025-26. While a more than capable scorer, the 6-foot-4 guard will need to improve his efficiency to stick at the NBA level. Conwell shot 40.8 percent from the field, 34.5 percent from three and 83.2 percent from the foul line as a senior. Oklahoma City made the pick, but Conwell will be headed to Miami via trade. Given the talent that the Heat gave up to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo, Conwell’s perimeter shooting ability could prove valuable. He isn’t a lock to provide reliable fantasy value as a rookie, but there should be opportunities to contribute.
