## Resource

The Oklahoma City Thunder just drafted seven-foot-three center Aday Mara, a Michigan standout who played a key role in their national championship run. With his massive size and rim-protecting prowess, Mara is poised to anchor the Thunder’s defense alongside Chet Holmgren. General Manager Sam Presti praised Mara’s ability to communicate and deter shots, calling it vital for their fast-paced system. While roster changes are expected, Mara’s long-term potential and humble, coachable attitude make him a perfect fit for Thunder’s future.
