2026 NBA draft thread

[F Gump]

One note about the way the Mavs might be looking at things. I think from the hints dropped in interviews that they are going to be looking for (prioritizing) players who they think can defend at an average-or-better level. They didn't say this at all, but as I consider the possibilities in light of what I think I'm hearing, I am guessing that if he ended up being available, they would have no interest in Acuff, for that reason. It seemed that strong. And I think it's probably wise to consider the other possible players we think they might draft through that same sort of lens.
