2026 NBA draft thread

I think this maybe is a trade back into the first round?

Didnt OKC really want Morez?

[dirkfansince1998]

At least they picked the best Michigan guy

[Mavs2021]

Okay. I´m not sure I want the trade down now. LOL. I think he´s BY FAR the best Michigan prospect. So either 12 +17 with OKC or something likely happens trade wise in the later part of the 1st round to get a guard.

[loki]

Could have traded back. Shit show

Probably, but that's never been Masai's thing. Not surprised he just took his guy even if it's seen as a reach.

[khaled1987]

I like him a lot, love the pick but he is a surprising pick.

[Torielp10]

Hopefully can get Philon later by trading up smh

[KillerLeft]

He's probably the best big in the draft, honestly. Very versatile, very modern.

Gafford is way out of here this summer.

[cow]

Best defender in the draft?  Nasty side?  I'll allow it.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

We talked for 6 months about getting a Robin and it ends up like this. Hopefully he turns into a good player but all the PGs went top 8. Even the draft room didn't look excited about the pick.

[Winter]

Morenz was in the bottom 10 of the first round at the start of the season
his stock went up after the championship
His stock went up again after the combine
His stock went up again after workouts and interviews.

This guy is going to play some minutes right away. And I'm guessing Masai told May he was going to do this a few days ago.

[khaled1987]

Could have traded back. Shit show

Unless we couldn't find a trade partner

[CooPerFan]

Damn they should get a PG

[cow]

"Back to work", "I always wanted to go to Dallas".

Welcome home, Morez.

[mvossman]

Maybe we can win 94-93

[SleepingHero]

Damn they should get a PG

Still a lot left on the board.

Burries, Philon, and my darkhorse pick De Larrea at 30.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

I wonder if Schmidt had much say over this pick. This is a typical Masai pick.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Surprising pick, but he's a big wing that plays D.

[mvossman]

I wonder if Schmidt had much say over this pick.  This is a typical Masai pick.

It’s a Schmitz pick as well. I like the player, don’t like the value.

[KillerLeft]

Lively/Johsnon
Lively/Flagg
Johnson/Flagg

Front line defense isn't going to be anywhere near the top of "the problems" list if all are healthy...

...but this for sure isn't a Robin.

[Moviemavguy]

Burries goes right after.
