2026 NBA draft thread

[Dahlsim]

You may be right.  He has certainly played like a rockstar.  Until proven otherwise I think he comes in at 6’1 with or without shoes.  So until I see his measurements, I am going assume he is small.  Shouldn’t matter?   Not sure but I think teams will prefer some of the bigger guards

The Darius Acuff / Kyrie Irving comparision is out there and interesting given that Dallas could be faced with potentially having both on roster.   Make no mistake if Kyrie comes back mostly the same off his injury (big IF) his impact on winning won't be replaceable anytime soon by an NBA rookie but 
DA is thought thought with his wingspan and style to likely play a little 'bigger' in the NBA.
