How did the Oklahoma City Thunder end up being able to draft star big man Chet Holmgren? One popular league analyst has his own take on this timeless question, which he connects to the draft lottery for that year’s big event and an errant bird defecating at precisely the right place and time.
If this sounds confusing to you, you are just going to have to hear the tale from the man himself, the hosts of the Athletic “Down to Dunk – an OKC Thunder Podcast” show, Andrew Schlecht. Schlecht recently released a short talking about that fateful day from his point of view. We are personally not especially convinced, but it’s a great tale even so, and will let you decide for yourselves after watching the clip he put together.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what Schlecht had to say about how bird poop, convertibles, and draft lottery conspired to get Holmgren to Oklahoma City in the draft.
