2026 NBA draft thread

[HoosierDaddyKid]

His dad played in a different time.  The concern with Boozer is that he is not quick enough to guard the perimeter well, but he also doesn't guard the rim (much bigger deal today than when his dad played).  But he just put up one of the best college seasons of all time.  Better than Flaggs.  There is almost no doubt he will be a very strong offensive player and he probably is the safest pick.

Boozer is very good, but I don't think he's particularly quick or has the foot speed to defend on the perimeter, and he's not really athletic.  He's going to have problems defending the elite NBA PF's and staying in front of wings and guards on switches. He's going to be put in a ton of P & R's.
