2026 NBA Draft Thread

[B Sox]

I feel like we’ve talked about this ad nauseum

Souped up Draymond/More advanced Young BG is absolutely worthy of going #1 in this draft.

It’s unlikely that anyone from this draft is going to be THE guy on a championship contender. Zion can absolutely be one of your top 2-3 though.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Only wish Garland was healthy, I feel like he'd be right there with Ja and could have been a top 4 pick

 

[nick.]

Culver is the same height as Hachimura

Edit: Maybe an inch or two shorter. Still, it's no way he's 6'6"

 

[pmatic]

Brandon Clarke could just be a Larry Nance Jr clone. And the Lakers dearly need someone like him.

 

[dacomeup]

Switching bigs are something that has become overstated.

Think the fact that most teams don’t have them show how special having one who can do it at a high level is.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Very few teams have that personnel up and down their roster. The best young bigs today aren't switching, but of course if Zion can do it, you have something special

Think the fact that most teams don’t have them show how special having one who can do it at a high level is.

Absolutely

Rui defending Culver late in the TTU/Zags game was fun as hell to watch.

 

[nick.]

Is it an overreaction to say Herro should go higher than Langford or Keldon Johnson?

 

[Quincy McCall]

Not taking Herro in the top 15, let alone over Langford, but I'm unusually high on Langford

 

[ballinsam23]

Is it an overreaction to say Herro should go higher than Langford or Keldon Johnson?

Dont think so. Big fan of Keldon and Herro though as solid role players at the next level.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I’m almost out on keldon Johnson by virtue of that struggle Drake squiggle cut into his hair. My goodness youngster, you are gonna be on national television and you thought that hair cut would be the way to go

 

[nick.]

Barrett could learn a lot from watching James Harden when he drives to the rim

 

[buc em]

I think PJ Washington is going to be a really valuable player at the next level.

Seems like an Omari Spellman situation, creep into the end of the first round

You don’t like the part? That’s a staple in the summer where I’m from

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I meant, his part. I'll try to find a photo

Send Zion to Atlanta, RJ to Cleveland and Cam to Bolivia.

 

[ballinsam23]

Hopefully w.e team drafts RJ maximizes his passing potential.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It'll be interesting to see if RJ can shed the negative label he's garnered himself. I haven't seen a turn like this on a prospect in quite a while

Glad Zion's season is now over. Take it easy big fella, need you to have a long pro career like you deserve

 

[Arthur Shelby]

RJ Barrett

 

[buc em]

Seems like an Omari Spellman situation, creep into the end of the first round

He should go much higher than end of the first round.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He should go much higher than end of the first round.

Probably will especially in this class

 

[second2nonee]

Seems like an Omari Spellman situation, creep into the end of the first round

Wouldn't say it's an Omari situation; Omari got in there off the tourney tbh (as did Donte).

PJ been hooping all year; he's a late lottery to late teens pick

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Yall killing my nehew.


I believe this is the correct take from Givony;

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I don't even understand what exactly y'all wanted RJ to do this year,


he was on the floor with two non shooting bigs, a non shooting PG, who can't actually make plays and a sharpshooter who shoots....32% from 3.



so if you're him, zion is getting double teamed, you're at the top of the arc you drive, and ******* Jack White or who ever is wide open. Do you pass or do you try and finish?
