2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

I don't see it for Mara with the Mavs.  Philon is one I struggle with.  He scored 34 points in his last game against eventual champion Michigan.   He just is a hard evaluation for me.  Probably easier in his role as a freshman.   He was really productive, good height, I love his change of pace.   But he is slim and not a great leaper and I just have trouble getting pumped up after this awful season if he was the prize.   Maybe that is the wrong way to think about it.   I am not sure if I am ever going to reach a landing spot on him prior to the draft.    

I don't get the Carr hype.  I think he is a 20's selection.   But heck, what do I know.

Also, I hope this doesn't come across as harsh.    I can't throw stones.  I have spent the past week trying to find a way to make a case for Ament at 9.  LOL
