2026 NBA draft thread

Or you hold your nose and gamble on upside with ament and then try to trade up with 30 for one of the guards.  Don’t think this is likely though

I think people will need to open their mind to the possibility for sure. Yaxel and Ament are absolutely in play for teams in the Top-10, Mavs included.. The scouts have been watching these prospects for years. Ament in particular has been very high in this class, one so-so year in college won’t move everyone off of him.
