2026 NBA draft thread

I would have difficulty not picking Peterson at #1 if I was sold if he was healthy.   On the other hand, he sort of has the mysterious tag on him because of his injury.

Boozer and AJ are neck and neck for me.   It would be tough for me to pass on AJ.

I have a big part of me though that says give me Boozer and good luck to the league trying to stop two teenagers who just win and do all the little things right.

I feel like Peterson has too many red flags to pick over guys as elite as Boozer and AJ.  Mavs can't afford to mess this up, and he is the most likely chance of messing it up.  Given that they already have a superstar and this is their last shot, I'm going the safe route with a top 2 pick.
