2026 NBA draft thread

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

I think there’s some truth to that. Feels like Boozer (if top 4), Acuff and Wagler all may be lower for Masai than the consensus. 

Know way to know for sure. Every draft is different and there will be more than one voice in the room, even if he’s the ultimate decision maker.

Those were the names that I crossed off as well today (which is a bummer because I do like Wagler).  I think it will be really interesting if the Mavs land at #3 because Caleb Wilson is basically the type of player Masai would have made in a lab to go play for the Raptors in recent years.

Excited about the hire considering the options but I do hope that some of the voices in the room that you mentioned guide him in the direction of a little more emphasis on shooting than the voices that were in Toronto.  This summer should be really interesting now.
