2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

I am also against a trade down at 9.  I would much prefer using 30 and getting creative trying to get to low 20's if you really like 2-3 prospects in that range.

For instance, Vecenie has Dallas taking Yssoufou at 30.  I would be fine with this as a developmental pick.   He has Bennett Stirtz going to Denver at 26.   He does not have Tanner in his mock as he thinks he goes back to school.  Okorie at 28.  He has Christian Anderson at 18.   

I think at least one goes back to school, but if you don't take a point at 9, would you try to move up for one that makes it to the mid 20's?
