2026 NBA Draft Thread

[finessence]

I wouldn’t be shocked if this class is full of stars and “good”’players as opposed to a draft with superstars like 96 and 2003 which are the drafts that this one is being compared too.

I think Caleb Wilson has the most Super star potential though. He could be the AD or Jayson Tatum, or Flagg. Something about the way he plays with intensity + his skillset.

Won’t be shocked if a lot of guys end up being good “star players” not necessarily guys being superstars

I could see the guards of this draft being the most special ones though, as opposed to the big boys.

A few of them cats gone wind up being Brunson, Lillard, McCollum or Maxey.

This jawn is deep with PGs/scoring PGs

Acuff, Fleming, Wagler, Philon, Mikel, Leek Thomas, Okorie, etc

Only took 10 shots but controlled the game against the best team in the country who has a frontcourt with 3 first round picks. Big Boy Hali

Reminds me of Schroder.

Darryn Peterson - Booker/Beal
Cam Boozer - Boozer/Klove
Caleb Wilson - Bosh/KG

What’s the top 4 player comparisons?

Just play style and not career outlook:

AJ Dybantsa - Big Jaylen Brown
Darryn Peterson - Brad Beal
Cam Boozer - Slim Kevin Love
Caleb Wilson - Giannis (don't kill me)

I can't even hate on Booz. As much as I'd like to. If he was a finished product today he's better than most the league

With that said, don't think you can go wrong with the others at the top. Though I'm not entirely sold on Peterson

 

[Platinum State]

Comparing AJ to Paul George, Jaylen Brown and Tatum seems off to me. He's not much of a deep shooter and not that good defensively as the first two
Boozer made more threes at a higher percentage than AJ.
AJ's best comp is T-Mac

 

[MVP]

Feel like AJ is closer to Bucks Ray Allen.

If he can get his shot to going at the next level, he'll be real deal Holyfield fasho.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

 

[worldbeefreeg]

T-Mac was a great defender early in his career though so that doesn't really make sense either...

Billy Richmond just shot a 17 footer. Unfortunately it only went 16 feet.

Made a step back 3. Missed another one but on target. I was like ‘ok’

But then he airballed

I hate this broadcast. They're having interviews while the game is going on so hard to pay attention.

Cam Carr on fire. His agent might escort him out of arena at the next stoppage.

 

[frshstunna]

One of my fav players, I’m excited to see yo come back in Portland

Reminds me of Schroder.

Coming out there are questions about Tatum 3’ point shooting as well. He was spamming the mid range in college. I think AJ development is much like Brown and Tatum. Especially 8 years down the line. Both those guys put a lot of work in. Nobody in today’s game plays like Tmac
