2026 NBA draft thread

[mvossman]

Burries is basically a Bane starter kit, but he’s just a tad bigger, longer, and more skilled at a younger age. Bane is a max player and is Burries’ floor. That’s a great starting point. I’m not passing on him. However, if Atlanta swipes him, all bets are off. Hopefully, in that case, the Mavs could pull off a trade down and draft Rez or Hannes plus Philon/Carr/Stirtz.

I'm a Burries fan but Bane is not his floor.  Bane was a better 3 point shooter in college and he wildly outperformed expectations in NBA.  No guarantee Burries will do the same.
