Appropriate time to look into the 2026 Draft 

Post#1 » by atlantabbq99 » Thu Jun 26, 2025 3:49 am

The biggest get tonight is the unprotected New Orleans pick.

2026 is absolutely loaded with PF talent

AJ Dybantsa
Cameron Boozer
Chris Cenac
Caleb Wilson
Nate Ament
Jayden Quaintance

AJ is the prize for next year, Chris Cenac looks like a KAT clone and everybody else above would be a good get.

JJ is a good player but with Asa and the 2026 pick, it makes JJ into a good trading chip.

Joe Dumars owed us for giving him Rasheed Wallace in 03-04.

DQ is a good prospect, but Dumars is one of the worst GMs in scouting young prospects. Besides Tayshaun Prince, every draft pick Joe picked for the DET was a bust. Joe liking DQ is kind of a red flag

The more I watch Dybantsa, the more he reminds me of Shareef or Carmelo. He is listed at 6'9, he looks like he is the same height as Boozer. Maybe he can still grow another inch or two and end up being +6'10

Time will tell if he has learned anything.

Jeremiah Fears and DQ are solid selections.

Is AJ the crown jewel of the 2026 Draft Class?

Yes AJ is. But if Boozer grows to 6'11 and can seen as a C/PF in the NBA, then could be a 1a. 1b. to Dybantsa

Super early until the pick settles closer to where it lands, I do like Yessoufou and Ament. The talent and fits are nice.
