2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

that would be awesome.   I don't expect Peat to fall that much and I would also trade up for him.  I get the concerns.  I have them as well.  Although for a top recruit at 19 who fit into a great team there is a lot to work with.  It just may take some time.   Getting him at 30 would be an awesome roll of the dice.

Even the second round pick is a good gamble.   It would be an redshirt year for him on a two way, but even as an older prospect he had showed some NBA comparisons.

Peat is really interesting.   Youngest of 7.  Dad played guard in the NFL and his siblings played sports a high levels.    Sam Vecenie said Peat's team are re-working his shot.  it was needed.  His three was ugly.  His mid range shot looked much better.  So, you can expect a lot of bumps in the road.

His stats at Arizona was good, but not eye popping (especially rebounds), but I heard Vecenie say earlier in the year that outside of Boozer, Peat was the biggest winner in his class.  4 state titles.   Mutliple team USA titles.   Then he goes to Arizona and they are the top team for most of the year.   His stats across the board in High school, team usa and Arizona are not #1 types but just good production.
