2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

While I think KL overstates his case - for example, I'm 1,000% fine with Flagg as an offensive initiator, even as the ballhandler in a pick-and-roll - I think "true point guard" is pretty important. Burries has a strong floor but a far lower ceiling compared with the other four players.  

I think that's a reasonable argument, but for me it's straightforward. At #9 the best player available is Burries. If we play through the season and feel we need a true PG, let's trade for one. 

It's entirely possible the FO is running through possibilities of other players and trades, but I'm of the opinion we shouldn't pick for position at #9.
