2026 NBA draft thread

[Knutsen]

I watch Tyrese Maxey and I say to myself, we had an opportunity to draft this kid back in 2020.  And we drafted Josh Green instead.  Ouch.  Yes, I know.  We had Luka and Brunson at the time.

But I see Maxey and I wonder if a player similar to him be a good fit with Flagg.  Insert Darius Acuff.  I think if we get into the top 4, I would select Acuff.  That may be rich for some, but him and Flagg would be a dynamic duo.  I don't think Acuff gets to us at 8 (assuming we stay at that position).

I was thinking the same watching game 7. Maxey is close to the perfect match to Cooper as a player than can create, shoot, get easy baskets, speeds the game up, but isn’t ball hogging or egocentric going one in five.
