2026 NBA draft thread

[F Gump]

I kind of look at Wagler's game and am reminded of renowned former Maverick Justin Jackson, although with two or three times the defensive ability. If that's at all accurate, to me, you don't pick that with the 7th or 8th pick in this draft.

I watched most of the game vs HOU to look for this, and I saw something way different. 

What stood out to me was that to my eyes, Wagler was not a SG sometimes playing PG. He is DEFINITELY a PG. He was very capable in running the offense against a very good HOU defense. Never got rattled. Also I have been a bit concerned about his strength, yet he held up against these guys. And his size is a plus.

Based on that game, if I wanted to draft a PG and was choosing between Wagler and Flemings, I would take Wagler over Flemings, and it's not all that close. 

If you squint, can you see a path to Haliburton Jr? I dunno. But maybe, I think. And that's the appeal.
