2026 NBA draft thread

[DanSchwartzgan]

First time I saw Brown, the name "Steph Curry" came to mind. I would be satisfied with this outcome.

If Brown has a good week, he jumps the entire bunch and goes to the Clippers at 5.  Wagler (or Burries) makes sense at 6 to Brooklyn and I agree with the notion that Acuff won't get past the Kings.  I could see Mara going 8th to Atlanta.

In that case, it is Flemings and Burries (or Wagler) available at 9.  Not the worst outcome really.  We just need one team to reach outside the current mocks for that to happen.  

The thing about moving down to 12 is one of those guys plus Philon or Ament is guaranteed to be available (if OKC takes the other).  If OKC take Yaxel, then two of Flemings, Burries, Ament and Philon make it to 12.  There is plenty to like at 17.  I like giving our draft experts two shots at it if there isn't someone we absolutely love at 9.  Of course, Atlanta might be thinking the same way and they end up being the OKC trade partner.
