2026 NBA draft thread

And just because I am trying to speak it into existence. Boozer is the perfect example of people overthinking stuff. He basically has no flaws. Can do it all. Processes the game at a different speed compared to his peers. With robotic precision. Resulting in (statistically) one of the best college seasons of all time (maybe the best freshman season ever). As the youngest player of his class.
No need to make any projections of what he could be if he adds x/y/z. But somehow that translates to a lower ceiling because he cannot jump out of the building. Reminds me of Luka going third because people prefered the upside of Ayton and the athletic profile of Bagley (quick second jump...lol).

My personal highlight. His passing. Some MVP level NBA bigs never figured out how to pass out of the double team. Boozer makes it look easy.

I've said it over and over again. He doesn't have the physical tools to guard the perimeter nor defend the rim. There are some bigs who he will be able to guard effectively, but he's going to get targeted and abused on switches in the L nearly as much as Acuff.
