2026 NBA draft thread

[Mavs2021]

So nobody believes in Philon´s athletic ability. How far will be fall now? Maybe Minnesota should have kept #28.

Philon falling...come on Mavs!  Move up!

Honestly can't believe that Philon is going this late. 

Either he had some bad interviews or teams really dont respect Alabama.

16 for two 2nds?????

OKC about to do something here.


Edit: OK, Memphis gets 17

I would've preferred Stritz, and I also like Okorie better. 

Philon will go last of this next guard tier, though, imo. Probably the most gettable.

[Mavs2021]

That seems awfully low price for #16. Is #17 involved too perhaps? What will OKC do with all the picks?

Must be, nothing else makes sense. So maybe Philon to the Grizzlies afterall.

Tells me maybe OKC will be letting quite a few guys go this summer.

Dort, Joe, maybe even Cason Wallace.

Shams confirmed. Pick swap and two SRPs

Memphis will draft No. 17 now via OKC. So the Grizzlies get two second-round picks and swap the No. 16 pick for No. 17.

[Mavs2021]

No way can this be two 2nds for 16. Memphis has no financial issues either. ESPN is just dumb.

Yupp. Those 2nds are useless to OKC.

Morez Johnson 6’10 with a 7’3.5 wingspan and 250lbs but moves like a wing…

Hyper efficient play finisher on low-ish volume. Monstrous strength, athleticism, & motor. Not going to create much for himself or others, but can thrive playing next to stars.

I'm going to pull a Sleeping Hero and just say, "wait until he has Luka feeding him".

I mean...even independent of all that...pretty good Aaron Wiggins replacement, nay?

Not Cason.  But probably Hartenstein.

Dort and Joe for sure.. Not Wallace.

Very true.

Annoying at how competent OKC's asset management is.

170 lbs

Not Cason.  But probably Hartenstein.

I think they will keep Hartenstein and resign him at lower salary

[Mavs2021]

Sure sounds like the Grizzlies will take Anderson. ESPN spoil themselves.

We've got another trade...

Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania)
Another Grizzlies trade: Memphis is trading No. 17 to the Detroit Pistons to move back to No. 21 -- for three second round picks.
