2026 NBA draft thread

[loki]

If Brown is there, I hope Ujiri runs and turns in his draft card as fast as possible. 

I love Philon and his creativity is off the charts. I had written about him as well, but a smaller guard who relies more on creativity can struggle at the next level.  With both those guys, Ament and Philon, if you're taking them that high, you are betting that their long term jump shot can be consistent.  However, even without the jump shot, Ament still remains a 6'10" guy with above average handles for his size.  That combination will always draw interest from other GMs that even 2 years from now someone will bite and you could get back a decent haul for him.

All I know is with Ujiri in there, I feel much more confident now about the direction of this franchise.  Hoping for the best.

The combine is going to be incredibly interesting to see how big these guys actually are. I don't think Brown is that much taller than Philon, although he is more athletic. Ament seems like a guy who could slide way down the board. Here's hoping Masai still has the magic touch.
