2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

I have been hammered here multiple times for talking about fit in this draft, but I don't think Kyrie should be part of that equation.  We are trying to land the second best player on this team for the next 10+ years and I don't think fit with Kyrie should impact that decision.

But on my original post I was mostly surprised you had Wagler over Flemings as well.  I presume that means you have Wagler at 5, which I think is higher than anybody else on here.

The only way Kyrie should factor in at all is the same way some of us liked the idea of Flagg/AD: the youngster learning from the master. In that way, I can see someone like Acuff benefitting greatly from a year or two with Kyrie, but to consider whether any of these guys fits on a championship squad WITH Kyrie is pointless, to me.

To your other point about "fit"...I think it would be insane to draft the BPA if you don't think he fits with Flagg. The thing is that we have a pretty wide variance of opinions about what would/wouldn't fit with Flagg, but, yeah - not considering it at all would be bananas, imho.
