2026 NBA draft thread

[hakeemfaan]

SGA had concerns about being skinny, but he had elite positional size to make up for it.  Philon does not make up for his lack of bulk with size or athleticism.  He has already demonstrated that he can't put on weight when he desperately needed to (from freshman to sophomore).  As that article said, if he can't put on weight the margins are very thin.

Isn’t Flemings the exact same height without shoes and with a smaller wingspan?  

I understand weight, jump shot, athleticism Kingston is better but the height issues are a non factor if you are going to compare them. 

Philon is one of the most creative players in this draft. Mavs or not,  I am rooting for him to succeed.
