2026 NBA draft thread

[F Gump]

My updated Mavs big board, which likely bears no resemblance to any national/expert big board:
1) Dybantsa
2) Wilson
3) Acuff
4) Flemings
5) Boozer
6) (Peterson)
7) Burries
8) Wagler
9) Lendeborg
10) Philon
11) (Brown)

Parentheses - I don't want the Mavs to obtain these players in any event, but Peterson, at least, should be a placeholder to push others down if the Mavs don't move up to top four. I think the ship has sailed on Peterson being drafted top 4 - we'll see if I'm right.

I'm not sure I would pick them in the same order as you, but I am with you on ...
1 Peterson and Brown (and I have Wagler also) as players that I wouldn't end up drafting. I think other teams will want them more (and thus pick them earlier) than I would rank them, and
2 Wilson. IMO your rating of Wilson is justified (I am thinking that in 5 years he is likely to be the best player in this draft)
3 Burries solidly in the top 10. Maybe. I saw AZ earlier in the year where I was focused on a different player (maybe it was Peterson or Dybantsa) and kept hearing Burries mentioned, but didn't really pay attention. But I watched him again last night and I came away quite impressed. One issue is that I compare him to the PGs, while I'm guessing he is being assessed as an undersized 2-guard rather than as a PG, and if he's not a PG then I can see why he might be not as desirable.
