2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

To focus on something beyond the usual lottery names. #30 and #48 aren't looking nearly as good after the returner exodus. Wouldn't hurt to move up.

Yeah when the names first came out I thought this draft would be deep until late 30's.   I still think at 30 there are some good prospects, but it gets thin quickly.  I have very little interest in Vessar or Meleek Thomas, so if they don't go prior to 30, things get really dicey.   Moving up 4-5 spots would really improve your chances of finding a solid rotation player.
