2026 NBA draft thread

Do we have to talk about Carr at 9 now?!





@DBCJason
Shooting Score: a simple metric with only 3 inputs (3P%, FT%, 3Pr), weighted by how correlated each are to NBA 3P%

Here are the best shooters in the 2026 NBA Draft and a graph plotting Shooting Score against self-created 3 point scoring in an attempt to capture shooting dynamism

I wonder if we aren't spending enough time on Carr...especially in a trade back scenario.

We talked about Carr quite a bit after being a standout at the combine but not much since. Above is a snapshot of some of the measurables and shooting. 2 things that stand out as both a "Masai guy" and something this team really needs going forward (shooting). I have him at 14, but 7-15 are all in the same tier for me. Basically a 'projected starter' tier. I don't know if that's how an NBA front office will have it split [tiers]... maybe it's a true stack with an overall score based on a point system with weighted metrics. I don't know, but I do think Carr will be a good one at the next level. All of these prospects have flaws. Carr at least has a real NBA skill to work with from day 1, SHOOTING.
