2026 NBA draft thread

[mvossman]

Vecenie and others seem to draw a clear line at Ament as the top 9 have separated themselves. According to him, Ament is the last "surefire lottery pick" and guys below him like Burries fall into the bucket of "looks like a good top-20 pick".

I'm still confident the Mavs will pass the Pels and land at 6th best odds so I'm trying to get comfortable with all the top-9, but obviously things can and probably will change after the Tournament and pre-draft workouts.

I'm getting a little worried with Flagg back and Klay and Middleton playing well that we are going to win more games than we want to down the stretch.
