2026 NBA Draft Thread


I saw Mo play at a Nike event I worked at when he was a Sophmore in HS and man, the first time I saw him step on the court, you knew he was a future NBA player. He kind of floated through the game though however and didn't do much, a sign of future things to come. Think Bruce Brown and Myles Powell were the best players that day.
 
Really interested in what Utah does. They're gonna stink regardless next season, but picking Fears would be crazy to me if Tre or Ace are on the board. Feel like Danny Ainge would take a swing with one of them over a PG.

And if they pick Maluach, then they're resetting their time line and Kessler could be on the move.

They are gonna trade down with Brooklyn and take Fears.
 
ESPN mock is interesting. Tre at 8 feels crazy. Queen at 15. Nique Clifford at 26.
 
Queen really dropped alotta of the baby weight, still got a big frame but he’s way more lean now…He did a good job working on his body
 
seen in OKC today. Given that after next season, Hartenstein's final yr of his deal is a team option and he projects to be available at OKC's slot of 24, makes sense. I doubt he'll be as good as iHart especially during his rookie deal, but JDub and Chet's 25% maxes (could be 30 for JDubb since he made all NBA) will be kicking in so...

Top 15 big board with comps. Leaving out the international players.

Cooper Flagg - Well rounded player and a winner...Jayson Tatum x Kawhi Leonard
Dylan Harper - Physical rim pressure guard....Tyreke Evans x Deron Williams
Ace Bailey - Betting on age and elite shot making...Less athletic Rudy Gay with a three ball
VJ Edgecombe - Super athletic and high motor guard, seems like a safe prospect...Victor Oladipo
Tre Johnson - Big time scorer, underrated passer...Tyler Herro
Kon Knueppel - Best shooter in the draft with good skills...Bigger Bogdan Bogdanovic
Khaman Maluach - Defensive presense, makes everything near the rim...Mitchell Robinson
Carter Bryant - Classic 3&D forward, does he have more to his game?...Athletic DFS
Collin Murray-Boyles - Skilled left, but not much of a jump shot...Under control Julius Randle
Derik Queen - Red flags all over the place, but highly skilled big...Greg Monroe.
Jeremiah Fears - Speedy, can get to anywhere on the floor...Devin Harris
Thomas Sorber - Slow footed, workhorse...Day'ron Sharpe
Kasparas Jakucionis - Big, slow playmaking guard...Greasy Vasquez
Cedric Coward - Draft stock rising since the combine, very good shooter-athlete...Terrence Ross
Jase Richardson - Small, but tough and skilled combo guard...Podz
 
It's kinda wild to me Cooper Flagg has a twin brother. And he's going to lil ol Maine University. :lol

Think about this all the time with mine and what happens if one is incredibly smart or really good at a sport or something and the other isn’t :lol:
 
I don't have any strong opinions on this draft.

Other than I don't want the raptors to draft Derik Queen.
