2026 NBA draft thread

I think he has Peterson a little low (still "all star"), but...the real takeaway for me: no Mikel Brown on the list at all?

Just read up on the methodology. It is primarily based on EPM which gives it a lot of credibility in my mind. Based on the research I did a couple of years ago, EPM is as good as we have in overall player evaluation in the NBA. It is also heavily driven by age based on expected development curves. Apparently it does not take injury history into account at all.

I find myself impressed. I already had Wagler, Flemings and Burries high on my list, and this reinforces that. One of those guys will be available at 9.

Kind of crazy Ngongba is so high.
