2026 NBA draft thread

Limiting turnovers is important, but I wouldn't make that my criteria for a lead guard. Guys like Luka turn it over constantly and they're still extremely productive because they hit so many home runs in between the strikeouts. I'd rather have a guy with the necessary court vision/creativity to generate offense even if he's a little over-aggressive than have someone who takes no risks. You can be strong with the ball and still have an anemic offense.

Luka gets into trouble when he tries to do too much but he is rock solid with his handles. That’s a guy who is used to teams literally designing their defenses around him 

The Spurs young uns were coughing up the ball a lot and looked nervous. 

To me being solid with the ball has always been #1 for your lead guard. Even Curry is really solid with his handles though he is not your typical facilitator   When the lead guard gets the ball your team should have the confidence that no matter what the other team throws at him, he won’t get flustered.
