2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

I’d have to see what Point Guards were available when we were picking. But he definitely seems like a decent choice if we land at 8 or 9. I’m still on the Braylon Mullins is going to be a Devin Booker with better defense type player, or perhaps Klay with a little more offensive game but not as good of a shooter. Going to be very interesting how this draft class turns out in 5 years with all the hype.

I doubt Mullins can raise his draft profile into the top 10 of the draft. Occasionally some draft will have him there, but it's rare. He doesn't touch the ball enough in Connecticut's offense to drive these recent big numbers like we're seeing with Brown, Acuff, Flemings, Wagler, and even Philon - all of which are primary ball-handlers. The last I checked, all five of the Huskies starters were scoring double digits, and Mullins was not their top scoring player. I can't see him leap-frogging any player currently in the top 10.

It does appear that Brown, Wagler, and now Acuff are pretty secure in the top 10. Besides being in the vicinity of the Mavs picks, they also fill a playmaking need for the Mavericks, so one of those players could easily be targets at draft time. Ament will likely be there, but I think he would have to look awful good to the Mavs in workouts to take the # 7 or 8 spot.
