2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

Mara is going to be a fascinating evaluation.    Two years with minimal impact at UCLA and then one year at Michigan where he was a key cog in a national champion. Still though he only played 23 minutes a game.   His free throw percentage improved but still finished at 56% for the year.  

His highlights are really fun and his best basketball may be ahead of him, but he may be best served as a tandem guy paired with another center.    It will be really interesting to see where teams rank him.  I am not buying too many of the rankings yet for most of these guys.  Especially guys outside the top 7-8.

Quaintance is the biggest mystery. He'll be a project, but what a build on that guy.
