2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

Lendeborg looks like the only guy in this draft with any hope of defending Wemby. I'll be interested to watch Anunoby try to guard him if both teams make it to the Finals.

Anunoby is close to Lendeborg's size but the player with nearly identical measurements isn't even a wing ... it's Bam Adebayo.

I understand he'll turn 24 ahead of his rookie season but he's going to be a defensive monster who can guard 1-5. At a minimum he'll be a taller, younger, cheaper PJW.

The age thing has never bothered me much. I get why you wouldn't want to do that, and I don't expect the Mavs to pick Lendeborg. But there is something to be said by giving Flagg a talented player who almost certainly can do the needed work.
