2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

I don't think anybody said to pass on him.  I am not opposed to the idea mentioned above of trading a few spots back for significant assets.

This comes back to our previous argument.  I think Flagg is a PF and I don't think putting another PF next to him is the ideal fit.  I didn't realize that opinion was so far away from talking basketball.

Personally I like Boozer, but I'm not completely wedded to him. One of the things he does is find a way to position himself for a rebound. But the opposing players down low are easily pushed away by his big body.

But I don't think that happens as easily in the NBA. There are plenty of big bodies that he hasn't seen in college.

However, if you watch Boozer, they put him all over the court on offense. He's at the top of the key on some plays, closer to box on other plays, and occasionally out on the wing. And he seems to be a smart player too. As Chicago said, he makes smart plays.

I really doubt you go wrong here even with Flagg in the lineup, but Dybantsa and Wilson in the lineup might have similar challenges as well. I just think you have to go with best player of the top 4 - and that may depend on workouts, interviews and other intangibles. I think for these 4 players at the top you're going to have to trust your front office and coaching staff to help make the call.
