2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

I'm not taking him over Philon Jr who seems to be underrated at this point.  It would also be a disaster if Philon fell to OKC.  

The kid has almost no holes in his game, and yet everyone wants to focus on one single negative which is strength.  His change of pace, especially in the lane, is just something you can't teach.  

This is a guard's league and not having a league guard for the future would be a mistake IMO.

I'm assuming you know Burries is a guard. It's debatable with Philon, but if my options at #9 are between Burries and those below him, I'm taking Burries... and maybe looking for a PG in a trade.
