The Oklahoma City Thunder finds itself back in the lottery with their own pick for the first time since 2009. It's fair to say that pick ended up making a decent-sized impact on the NBA, even if the largst portion of that impact didn't end up happening for the Thunder. 

Indeed, the Thunder have shown time and again from the James Harden pick in 2009 to countless others since that they know how to choose and develop talent under general manager Sam Presti. This time around though, they'll do it with a different coaching staff in place after firing Scott Brooks in favor of former Florida Gators' coach Billy Donovan. So what will Donovan need to be successful in his first season that he can get through the draft?

Here's a quick breakdown of the Thunder's needs and options for the No. 14 pick.

TEAM NEEDS FOR THUNDER

Depth at backcourt, depth at wing

This is about as strong a team as we've seen in the lottery for a long time, and also as complete a team. The Thunder have 13 guaranteed contracts on the books next season at about $78 million, and still have the restricted free agency rights of midseason acquisitions Enes Kanter and Kyle Singler to deal with along with 2014 first-round pick Josh Huestis. Given that they gave up a very legitimate asset in Reggie Jackson for those players, it's hard to envision a circumstance where they lose both. Kanter particularly seems likely to re-sign as the centerpiece of that deal unless he is offered a crazy contract from another team. 

Assuming Kanter is back, it's clear the Thunder will be looking in the backcourt in this draft. They already have Kanter to go along with Serge Ibaka, Steven Adams, Nick Collison and Mitch McGary, plus they'll get some small-ball 4 minutes from returning star Kevin Durant. That's a pretty diverse frontcourt with a lot of different combinations and possibilities. However, the team could look to upgrade their depth on the wing or in the backcourt just from a roster standpoint.

FOUR POTENTIAL OPTIONS

Cameron Payne | G | Murray State | Ranking: No. 20

Payne is a guy whose stock has been rising throughout the process, and he's been connected pretty heavily with the Thunder organization with rumors circulating from some that he's already receiving a "promise" from them that they will select him if he reaches No. 14. While I don't buy into the promise, I do think it's understandable that the team would be interested in him. He's a terrific shooter and great in the pick-and-roll, plus can learn the ropes from D.J. Augustin for a year on the bench. He'd be the type of player that could really help ease some of the pressure off of Russell Westbrook, and could even play with him at times with Westbrook guarding the bigger backcourt player. This probably isn't the option I would go with, but it does seem to be a likely one.

Kelly Oubre | G | Kansas | Ranking: No. 11

Oubre would represent a high-upside pick for an organization that: 1) hasn't taken one in a while, given their recent first round selections of Andre Roberson, Steven Adams, Josh Huestis and Mitch McGary and 2) would fill one of their biggest roster holes on the wing. He's not a perfect prospect and probably isn't ready to make an impact in 2015-16, but his combination of length and athleticism paired with the potential to slash and shoot is pretty tantalizing. His stock has been slipping a bit due to a few rough workouts, but the package is there for him to really make someone happy if he falls into the mid-teens.

Devin Booker | G | Kentucky | Ranking: No. 13

Imagine how adding yet another shooter to this team could open up the floor for Durant and Westbrook to attack. Booker is the youngest player in the draft, but he's one of the highest IQ guys, and Donovan could devise a lot of different ways to get him the ball while running off of baseline and pin-down screens. Or, he could simply put him on the corner or in the wing as a spot-up guy and let the best shooter in this draft rain down 3s if they leave him to help on the attacking stars. He's not the best defender yet, but given his feel for the game and the length that would be around him, it would be smart to pick this kind of guy up if he was on the baord.

Jerian Grant | G | Notre Dame | Ranking: No. 17

Grant wouldn't help the Thunder's spacing, but he'd be a potential backup for Westbrook that could also play with him due to his experience in two-point guard systems at Notre Dame with Demetrius Jackson. The two could take turns slashing and carving up the defense while looking for open shooters, or Grant could come in and take the reins on offense from him and play in what likely will be a pretty wide open offense. He's older and might not have the upside of some of the other players in this draft, but he certainly profiles well as a playmaking backup.

TRADING PLACES?

If the Thunder trade up: As alluded to above, the Thunder have a lot of young pieces that could be used in trades. Adams, McGary, Dion Waiters, Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones are all guys that have varying degrees of value around the league and might be pawned off to move up a few spots to get someone like a Stanley Johnson or a Mario Hezonja or even a Justise Winslow if one of those guys fell out of the top-nine. 

If the Thunder trade down: Having said that, the Thunder are also missing two future first round picks due to trades made this year, and might want to try to replenish the stocks a little bit by moving down in the draft and accumulating more future selections. If that was the case, it would put them more into the R.J. Hunter, Sam Dekker, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Justin Anderson and Tyus Jones rung of players. 

HUH?

Something out of the box

Seriously, the Thunder have done some unexpected things in the draft recently, seemingly having different evaluations on guys than would otherwise be expected. Roberson and Huestis particularly come to mind. Maybe they really like someone like Dekker or Hollis-Jefferson up there? Maybe they do decide to go big despite a roster that says otherwise?
