How does a GM develop a draft board? Here's a look at a tiered strategy that some NBA teams employ, and then we'll apply it to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Hello, my name is Stephen Curry. By now, you should know all about who I am, but just in case you don't, I'm here to tell you a little about myself and why the Thunder should select me with the #3 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, which is set to take place at the end of the month (June 25th).

Hello, my name is Jordan Hill, and that's me pictured above. I look a little dejected up there don't I? Well, why do you suppose that is? I'll tell you why, because in the last month I've gone from being discussed as a likely candidate for the Oklahoma City Thunder to almost becoming an afterthought here lately.

Hello, my name is Blake Griffin. How come a blog about the team in my home state is giving all these other potential picks a chance to speak out and let the world know why they are the right fit for the Thunder, when I haven't been given the opportunity yet?

Hello there, my name is Ricky Rubio, and in general, I'm a pretty soft spoken shy person. If you are a fan of the NBA and following all of this crazy draft coverage, you might not expect that, especially with all the rumors that I would only come to the NBA if I'm drafted by a large market team.

Hello, my name is James Harden. I've been working hard trying to improve and impress scouts as we get closer to the 2009 NBA Draft, where I'm fully expecting to be a top 5 selection.

The more I think about this upcoming draft and what we will do with the #3 overall pick, the more and more I have begun to convince myself that Hasheem Thabeet is the key to what the Thunder will do come June 25th.

Hello, my name is Hasheem Thabeet. I'm 7'3" tall and I like to block shots like you can't even imagine. Defense is the name of my game, and I'm prepared to become the dominate force on the inside for the Oklahoma City Thunder, which will ultimately lead towards winning an/multiple NBA Titles a few years down the road.

The 2009 NBA Draft Lottery has come and gone, and for Thunder fans, it was exciting as ever. As they counted down the teams 1 by 1, the anticipation grew more and more.
