2026 NBA draft thread

[vfromlmf]

It's exciting to see so many of the top 8 or 9 players "rising" to the top of the board. By definition, if one guy goes up, anther guy goes down, so you could see a guy like Flemings fall to 7 or 8 through no fault of his own. Flemings is still doing everything that made him the consensus no 5 pick two weeks ago. And Peterson is only falling relative to pre-injury or inflated expectations. Despite all the weird stuff, he's still been a heck of a shot maker and disruptive defender. He might not be the next Shae or Kobe but he looks like he could be an elite point-of-attack defender, who can handle, and make threes.
