2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

“@shamscharania

Developments ahead of the June 23-24 NBA draft: BYU's AJ Dybantsa has conducted formal visits with both the Washington Wizards (No. 1) and Utah Jazz (No. 2) while Kansas' Darryn Peterson only visited the Wizards and does not plan to grant anyone else a meeting, sources tell me and @JeremyWoo.

Both have believed in going No. 1 -- and now teams in the lottery are taking note of Peterson's decision to only give access to Washington.”

If this is the case, and Peterson has a chance of falling, the Mavs should be HIGHLY motivated to potentially trade up with Chicago.

Everything with a Peterson just feels difficult.  I don’t think a team in the top 3 will pass on him but come on.  Only working out for one team.  Is it too much to work out for two more teams.  It is a place he may be for at least the next 7 years.   Nothing is ever simple with him.
