2026 NBA draft thread

[Dirknows]

I have really given up thinking about that 9th pick. We´ll get, who we´ll get. I´m more interested in those Hawks/Lakers Gafford rumours, cause I´m worried the "steals" will happen in that 17-25 range (Steinbach, Anderson, Okorie, Peat, Quaintance, Cenac Jr. etc.) and that 30 is kind too late for all those guys. I have no idea who, but I think there will be two future All-Stars hidden in that range, whereas with #30, I feel dead inside. Maybe you get a rotational player, if you pick a senior. No interest at all in the international hype jobs like Suigo or Kayil.

I’m not trading Gafford to the Lakers for pick 25. We’ve done them enough favors already. Since it’s looking like Atlanta is gonna go guard at 8, I’d be ok with pick 23 for Gafford.
