2026 NBA draft thread

[Winter]

I am ok with anyone's evaluation/ranking of these guys, especially those making decisions for the Mavs. Where I'm tempted to grab my knife and start blindly stabbing is when I read opinions that suggest targeting guys who clearly don't bring overt offensive initiation value to the table. It's like we've all been watching a different Mavs team this past year and a half.

I'm not there. 

I think you're right in pointing out the offensive need, but I also think our roster reconstruction will not happen overnight. If the FO wanted to start a rebuild our roster with the best player available - and they felt strongly that player was someone like Johnson - I would have no problem with it. 

Ideally I would want another player, but I really need to hear the vision from the FO as they make these picks in the draft.
