2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

I saw the Mavs had a pre draft workout scheduled with Okorie.   I wouldn't take much stock on comes in for a workout.  Mavs have #9 and #30 and they should be able to get a lot of guys in for a workout outside the top 5-6.    Okorie is interesting.  I loved his highlighits, but never saw a full game from him.  Just off highlihts you can make the case he deserves to be in the lottery group range of guards.  Although that is tricky just by using highlights.   I wish he was closer to 6'3ish.    Even with the long wingspan, the height is tough.

You want to see first-round players you're interested in. Things change, people make trades, teams move up or down.

In a recent post, Dan had Okorie in an OKC trade down to the Mavs at #17 I think. I thought it was as good or better idea than other things I'd seen. It's really too bad so many guards are lined up in the top #15. If he went back to school, he might be an easy top 5 lottery pick
