2026 NBA draft thread

[Scott41theMavs]

Really love your analysis, but I was wondering who's #2? or is just that there is no #1? Is that a role the FRPs and/or FAs are supposed to fill?

So the idea of my analysis is to gauge how good a guy is based on what role he's good enough to play on a championship contender. I said that Flagg was a low-level Robin (#2 guy) right now. As I said, I think it's a safe bet he's a Batman (alpha leader on a championship contender) by year 3.

As for who our future Robin-role guy is, if we move up in the lottery, it's probably that guy, eventually. If not, it's whoever Presti wizards his way into over the next year or two. The first five years of the Flagg era essentially hinge largely on whether our ping pong balls are picked.
