2026 NBA draft thread

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 of Lamello Ball, only without the ridiculous over the top swaggy dumb guy personality. I think a combination of improvement and reining him in is possible, and that he might become the idealized version of Ball that everyone's hoping to see some day.

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

I think there are a lot of folks that think this about Brown.  He gets mocked in the top 8 regularly.  And Mara has been getting that treatment lately as well.  There may also be a totally unexpected pick in the top 8.  I think there is legit possibility Flemings is there.
