2026 NBA draft thread

[OBX Maverick]

Darryn Peterson #2.

He did not really want to go to Utah. But great pick by Utah.

He came out and said he was fine going to Utah

Yeah im sure, but theres a reason why he waited until 2 days before the draft and said he was fine.

Curious to see what Memphis does. BPA is Boozer.

ROUND 1 HAS BEGUN

Just as a reminder for those intently discussing pick trades --- if there are any trades of picks, we won't hear about them until after all the related picking is done. The draft order and teams is locked in.

So (for example) if the Mavs traded 9 for 12/17, we wouldn't know about it until some time much later than 9 -- maybe after 17, maybe after 30, maybe later.

Really? 

I get not wanting the picks to be leaked before the live broadcast, but that sounds detrimental to the product. People then just won´t watch and get the results afterwards.Plus you´ll p*** off so many fanbases.

Imagine Dybantsa and Peterson thinking those are their teams for another four hours, then the trade gets announced.

Boozer to MEM

Great pick. Could possibly be the best player in this draft.

So far 1/2/3 has gone as expected.

[cow]

time to trade up

[SleepingHero]

Ok lets see if cow is right with the trade up for Wilson

Shams will leak it. Just Silver wont announce it live is all FGump is saying.

Pick fell in their lap. You give them too much credit

The fun part’s about to start

Ah okay. That makes a lot more sense. As usual then.

So will the Bulls do some bullssh*t.

[khaled1987]

They need to make top 3 or 5 picks just 3 minutes. The first pick team don't need 5 minutes for sure, they had months already

[F Gump]

Ok lets see if cow is right with the trade up for Wilson

If there's a trade, we won't know about it for quite some time. We will just hear that CHI picked Wilson.

ShamsCharania will make sure we know whats going on.

[Moviemavguy]

This board is gonna freak when it's Philon Jr.

[khaled1987]

The known part is over, along half of the picks before us.

It is 3:30 am here, can't wait for 9 and then going to bed

[SleepingHero]

This board is gonna freak when it's Philon Jr.

Its going to be Wagler. 

And it will be glorious

[khaled1987]

This board is gonna freak when it's Philon Jr.

Don't threaten me with a great time man, I like Philon

[Mavs2021]

Ugh would be annoying as f***, if Silver told Shams to stand down on trades.

Also when Wilson was picked how they not playing the Bulls intro with from NORTH CAROLINA....
