2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

One of the things I think we pass on: undersized point guards. We have one already, and this draft is filled with them. Acuff is the exception at the appropriate lottery position, but that's it. I would prefer to look at other positions for 1st and 2nd round value. Trade for a veteran PG if necessary, but let's not spend the lottery on something we already have.

Quick edit: I also wonder where Kidd and the new GM will stand on the PG position in general. Kidd has never seemed wedded to a specific proto-type

What do you consider undersized?    I don't buy Acuff is 6'3.  I guess we will see, but I label him as undersized.

Flemings is listed at 6'3, and I think that may be pretty close.  Maybe 6'3 with shoes.   Philon was measured at 6'2.75 barefoot at the combine last year so he is pretty close to 6'4.    

Besides Acuff, I don't think many of the lottery guards are considered undersized.    I think some of the mid to late first potential guards are definitely undersized.  

I do agree that I am less interested in a pure point guard than a guy who can play off the ball and on the ball.
