2026 NBA draft thread

Technically, you may be entirely right. Here's my thinking in a general way.

I think it's in Flagg's best interest (and the team's), to have a veteran PG that can be acquired in a trade. I'm just not in love with any of the current PGs in that second tier, and a rookie PG next year just doesn't excite me. On the other hand, I think a good rookie SG or combo guard along with a good veteran PG makes more sense and I think makes for a stronger frontcourt. It would immediately help with spacing, and allow us to move Klay.

In a nutshell, I think I'm just happier with the thought of a SG on this team as a draft pick. I suspect it's Burries, but I would be happy to trade down a spot or two for Carr and another first-round pick (even if that pick was in another year).

Interesting take that you would rather have a SG than a PG.  I can't remember, are you a keep Kyrie, or we need to trade him at his highest value?  If you are in the camp of keeping him for the foreseeable future, I could see the focus on SG.  I would say both Wagler and Brown could play at SG (and back up the point).  I just think its really hard to find a quality point guard who can play defense, and Flemings is the closest to that in this draft.  I might have him ahead of all of these guys for that reason.
