Report: UC San Diego's Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones had predraft workout with Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2025 NBA draft with three draft picks. They own the No. 15 pick (via Heat), No. 24 pick (via Clippers) and the No. 44 pick (via Hawks).

The two first-round picks are interesting. The Thunder already have one of the deepest rosters. Fresh off a championship, don't expect much roster turnover. Adding on several rookies might be impossible. But that's all a pure assumption. Maybe OKC falls in love with a prospect in that range.

One possibility is UC San Diego's Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones. He reportedly met with the Thunder for a predraft workout, per HoopsHype.

Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones played in four college seasons from 2020-25, but the first two were at the Division II level. They were at Hawaii-Hilo before transferring to Division I school UC San Diego for his final two seasons.

Tait-Jones averaged 19.1 points on 57.6% shooting, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 35 games last season. He shot 31.3% from 3 on 1.4 attempts. He was also a 75.1% free-throw shooter. The 24-year-old is a 6-foot-6, 200-pound guard.

The Thunder could add Tait-Jones with the No. 44 pick in the second round. Or they could likely wait it out and add him as an undrafted free agent. He likely needs to impress in summer league to get added to the G League's OKC Blue roster.
