2026 NBA draft thread

[Smitty]

I think the other part of this is that Acuff may very well have supplanted Flemings as the top true PG in the draft. In which case, he's likely gone when the Mavs pick. We may see a variety of options now. You could see a draft discussion that includes Flemings, Wagler, Ament, or Burries - and if Burries has a good run in the tournament, it's not a stretch where the Mavs pick in my opinion. Or you could trade down for him.

All of these players are still playing in the tournament.

Acuff is my top PG but I have a hard time seeing him being a Maverick. If the Mavs get lottery luck and jump into the top 4, I don’t think they pass on AJ, DP, Boozer, Wilson. If they pick at 7/8, I don’t think Acuff is there, and if he is, he’s by far the best available.
