Peavy is very frustrating. I think he's too low IQ for this team.

So the 2026 draft could be stronger than the 2025 draft:

While the 2025 NBA draft is considered significantly stronger than 2024 and is headlined by Cooper Flagg, the 2026 draft could be even stronger. Darryn Peterson, A.J. Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer and Nate Ament are all potential candidates to be selected first. Because of the depth in next year's class, the NBA could again have a crowded field of teams extending their rebuilds.

Now watch the Warriors get into the top 10 of the 2025 draft somehow and have to give up the 2026 FRP.

If the draft were today, Warriors pick - owned by the Heat from the Jimmy Butler trade - would be #22 overall.

Notable #22 picks...
DaRon Holmes II
Dariq Whitehead
Walker Kessler
Isaiah Jackson
Zeke Nnaji
Grant Williams
Chandler Hutchison
Jarrett Allen
Malachi Richardson
Bobby Portis

Then they better at least finish out of the play in for their troubles.

But Wolves are gelling and they have an easy schedule.

Tugler reminds me of Biyombo. Crazy number I looked up just this morning because I was discussing this comp with someone else…Biyombo (who is still in the league somehow) has earned $96M in his career. Wild.

Yea he’s a game changer on defense but man is he a negative on offense. I mean Steph can play with a guy like that but without Steph it’ll be really hard to.

I can be talked into Kobe Johnson

Edit* Kobe might be my target in the 2nd.

I kinda think they’re both undersized 5s. Seems like Yaxel has more chance of shooting. Toppin is so switchable though. Reminds me of Vanderbilt somewhat.

Feel like toppin might be able to play the 4 defensively but his offense is so paint dominant.

Yaxel looks like he’s playing against high school kids as a senior. So hard to see what’s going to translate. I don’t like his offensive game much at all.

Is Toppin Obi's younger brother?

I remember when Obi was coming out, he and his very young brother were shown as close but the kid was like 10, had no length at all.

He was more of a fan of his older brother, who was projected by some to be maybe a top 5 pick.
