2026 NBA draft thread

[Dirknows]

I don't think Peterson will be setting up offense for others either.  I see his role as a primary offensive hub in the NBA (Kobe, MJ, ect) or an SG that can initiate offense from time to time.  Put him on the Mavs, I'm all about it.  They will need a Derek Fisher, John Paxson, BJ armstrong, Steve Kerr (off the ball shooter playing the point) to win a championship.  That role is easier to find.

I see the easiest way to unlock Flagg's offense is to get him a Chris Paul-type point guard (Acuff?) or do the above and put him in his ideal role as Scottie Pippen-like slasher/defender/scorer (SF/PF).

I think Flagg showed everyone last season his offensive ceiling is much higher than Scottie’s, more on the Kawhi/Tatum end of the spectrum. Not quite elite, but a notch below. And who knows, he’s still only 19.
