The 2010 NBA Draft is in full swing and so are the picks for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In the first round the Thunder selected point guard Eric Bledsoe of Kentucky as the 18th pick and then Craig Brackins a forward from Iowa State at 21. At number 26 they selected Quincy Poindexter a guard out of Washington.
According to the Associated Press, the New Orleans Hornets have agreed to trade Cole Aldrich and veteran shooting guard Morris Peterson to Oklahoma City for the Thunders' 21st pick of Craig Brackins and 26th pick of Quincy Poindexter.
Aldrich was selected at No. 11 overall and the 6-foot-11, 245-pound center averaged 11.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.5 blocks last season as a junior for the Jayhawks. The deal can't become official until July 8, when the new salary cap comes into effect.
The Thunder are still slated to pick again in the second round at 51.
New Orleans entered the draft with only one first-round pick and none in the second, now has an additional draft choice.
