2026 NBA Draft

[Cugel]

POR will probably be a playin team and may not even get its pick if they somehow make it out of the play in. Seems like they are all in on winning.

Tankathon actually mocked this guy to us at #13. On their rating system he has one of the best profiles I have ever seen on there. 38 green dots and 5 red. However, after his latest game, even if we did have a pock at 13, i don't think he will be there....He scored 46 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-b...-wagler-46-points-fuels-illinois-upset-purdue

These last 4 games make me think this thread should be on the front page again. Anyone have anything good to say bout a player who might be in our range?

I think we'll be in the play-in. Yaxel Lendeborg would make a lot of sense for us if he's still there.

No one is debating the talent at the top of this draft, as college basketball is having a freshman renaissance this season. This draft is both elite at the top and deep, with freshman stars such as Houston's Kingston Flemings, Louisville's Mikel Brown Jr., Tennessee's Nate Ament, Arkansas' Darius Acuff Jr., Arizona's Koa Peat, UConn's Braylon Mullins, Houston's Chris Cenac Jr. and Illinois' Keaton Wagler giving the sport an adrenaline shot of young talent.

"It is extra deep with high-end talent," said a veteran scout. "This draft will hold up historically as one of the better ones in the last 20 years." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/47786399/kansas-peterson-byu-dybantsa-top-draft-prospects

Ceiling:

Caleb Wilson = Sheed

Morez Johnson Jr. is my favorite non-freshman in the draft right now. Reminds me a lot of Al Horford with a similar combination of skills and physical tools to be a positive impact player on both ends that you can play at both big spots.

This thread has been buried. Don't watch much college hoop. Anybody with new thoughts based on things over the past couple weeks?

Boozer and C.Willson are neck and neck for me

Boozer: Kevin Love/Paolo Banchero
Wilson: Sheed (absolute ceiling/motor and drive are an issue)

Peterson is the best prospect but his injury history is pretty wild - takes games off like Kawhi.

What are you talking about?
Motor & drive are some of Wilson's strengths.

He takes plays off way too much

Motor is shown in flashes (Giannis-like aggression) but his motor is up and down
