2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

I answered your question and then edited the post after reading up on the metric and erased the answer.  Brown's advanced metrics in college were not good.  Given that is what this metric is primary based on, not surprising he was so low.  The same goes for Ament.  If you are drafting Brown or Ament, you are doing it based on scouting, not on college performance.

Yeah, I mean...I get that Brown throws some dumb, ill-advised passes that result in turnovers, for example. I'm sure the advanced statistical view of him paints a poor picture of his decision making skills. What I like is: I think he's eventually going to COMPLETE those crazy passes. I think I see a level of creativity there that's pretty uncommon. He kind of reminds me of Lamello Ball, only without the ridiculous over the top swaggy dumb guy personality. I think a combination of improvement and reigning him in is possible, and that he might become the idealized version of Ball that everyone's hoping to see someday.

I also don't think Flemings makes it to #9 unless someone higher up agrees with my hope for Brown, sadly.
