2026 NBA draft thread

[mvossman]

I Evans was one of my guys I hoped made it to 30 around a month ago.  I have seen him pop up more in the 20's recently, but I think there is a real chance he makes it near 30.   I have sort of come off him a bit though.   I don't think I would be disappointed in the pick, but I do have some questions.   I see some THJ in him...both good and bad.   He is not bashful shooting and can provide some wow highlights in the open floor.   He is just limited on creation right now.    Defense will be the big thing for hi.  If he can defend ok, he will get playing time and his game can grow.    If not, it may be an uphill battle. 

On that mock, i would really prefer a move up 4-6 spots.  For me that would be ideal.   Even at 30, I may lean for a guy like Karaban over Evans.

I know he took a lot of flack here, and some of it was warranted, but you could do worse than THJ at 30.
