2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

I try to follow the Pelicans as little as possible.

But one thing:

Why are their players valued so absurdly high? They never even sniff the playoffs yet you could think Murphy and also Herb Jones are franchise level of players with the stuff (asset wise) that gets thrown around in rumors about them.

I find that so irritating.

The same reason late stage Ujiri's Raptors players were valued so highly. Their team sucked, too, but they had nothing but long, fast, big, physical forwards. That's the thing every team needs 1-2 of, and they're always hard to find. But, when you build a team with ONLY that type, your team sucks. 

This is why I know PJW and Naji Marshall are both very tradable.
