2026 NBA draft thread

Quaintance is a beast. He will have limited minutes this year, but he's going to leave a mark eventually.

A saw an article on Smoking Cuban about how Lendeborg might fit Ujiri's idea of a player more than others. While that website is generally a worthless rag, it is a point we might want take seriously. A Lendeborg pick would signal a need to be competitve sooner rather than later. He has certain qualities others don't have. He's a vocal leader on the court, extremely active, good on defense, good passer, and an adquate perimeter threat. I could see Ujiri taking him if the Mavs were picking between 8-10.

I would be pretty disappointed if this is how it plays out.  His upside is very limited by his age and we already have a PJ Washington on this roster.
