2026 NBA draft thread

[F Gump]

I would like pick 5, but Garland does not excite me.

He's been hurt a lot with nagging injuries the last few seasons. That's why Cleveland decided not to wait on him to get healthy. He was 10 years younger than Harden. He's a very good player however.

This is why he doesnt really excite me. Injured A LOT. Small. Bad bad defense.

And a max deal (which would basically make him the ONLY max-valued player alongside CF, since CF will get one too) which means he's either gone or getting MASSIVE money when the team blooms.

I just cant get excited about where that would go.
