2026 NBA draft thread

[F Gump]

Article at nba.com by Sefko on Mavs possible pick. No earthshaking info, but I found some interest in him including a list of the top 10 draft picks in the various mocks by name brand sports media. 

In case you're wondering, the media were  
NBADraftRoom.com
ESPN
CBSSports.com:
SBNation

Tankathon.com
The Ringer
The Athletic
USAToday

No two of them were exactly alike. Some went farther off the usually-seen expectations than others, but no one had anything I see as wildly odd. Wilson was the only pick that was the same in every mock, at 4. 

The "consensus" for the top 10 looked like what might be expected, and the only one that surprised me in the consensus was that almost all of them saw Acuff at 6. The consensus draft expections by raw numbers:
1 Dybantsa
2 Peterson
3 Boozer
4 Wilson
5 Wagler 
6 Acuff
7 Brown
8 Flemings
9 Burries
10 Ament
Those same 10 players were in almost every top 10, just in differing order, with the only other player in the top 10 anywhere other than those was Mara, who was selected by two of them at 8.
