2026 NBA draft thread

I think Hollinger is correct tbh. I like Morez, but C+ grade (or B-)  on draft night seems logical. You got a player who was ranked lower without an apparent reason like need. For draft guys it is normal to give such a grade IMO.

I believe he is  more of a 4 than 5 btw, although he is surely going to play both.

Bith Masai and Dusty aren't the guys to draft an undersized C

I think the idea that Morez is undersized is a myth.  The center most associated with Masai is Poeltl, who is a couple inches taller than Morez, but morez has a longer wingspan, a taller standing reach and weighs 10 more pounds.  Dusty played Morez at center whenever Mara was out (which was a lot).  With Lively injury history and Gafford potentially (probably?) gone he will get a lot of minutes at C.
