2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

For instance, Vecenie has Dallas taking Yssoufou at 30.  I would be fine with this as a developmental pick.   He has Bennett Stirtz going to Denver at 26.   He does not have Tanner in his mock as he thinks he goes back to school.  Okorie at 28.  He has Christian Anderson at 18.   

I think at least one goes back to school, but if you don't take a point at 9, would you try to move up for one that makes it to the mid 20's?

What I really think is that it's unlikely to me that the Mavericks are picking exactly where they are currently scheduled to pick in rounds 1 and 2. We currently have what is seen as a very good 2026 draft. We have two very new GM-types looking over the draft eager to make something happen. We have tradeable assets and trade execptions. And we have very few draft picks the next three years.

I think the new FO is going to do everything possible to turn this draft into something more than it is now.
