2026 NBA Draft (Part I)

[return2glory]

My this board is dry right now, especially when the few left are talking about a draft before our season has even started.

Boston isn't tanking. I kind of wish they were this season. That will only happen if they sit out Brown and White a ton of games and trade Simmons for next to nothing in return.

I'm caught in between a tanking season and rooting for this team to overachieve. I feel like Pritchard and Queta should have strong seasons. So will Simmons, if he is here. Garza, Baylor and Minott might have break out seasons. Boucher was a big, low key pick up.

I'm starting to be a little higher on Condon now.

He looks good in these pre draft workout vids. Looks bouncy and quick off the floor..also the 3 ball looks good. Of course no one is guarding him so you don't weight it super heavily, but still.

Also measured 6'11" barefoot at the combine, which means he's a legit 7'0" in shoes. All season at Florida he was listed as 6'11". So being an inch taller helps.

If we're picking in like the 15-25 range, I'd take a long, hard look at Condon. Certainly watching him closely this season for a Florida team defending their title.

Condon and Gruenloh are both intriguing to me as centers who can potentially catch lobs, pass and shoot 3's on offense..and block shots and switch a little bit on D.

I have Gruenloh ranked slightly higher, mainly because he's over a year younger. But Condon appears to be a little more athletic..not a huge gap between them as prospects imo..

Is he wearing a bro?

Here's where my big board is at as of now:

The only bigs I have in the top 20 as of now:

Boozer (1)
Quaintance (7)
Cenac (9)
Toombs (15)

I like Toombs and how he could fit here. We like bigs who can pass. He's an excellent passer. We like bigs who can defend. He's a good defender. Not an elite one but a good one with the potential (he's very young, just 18) to be a very good one.

We like bigs who can shoot. He can kind of shoot. There's definite upside for him to become more of a shooter over time as well (very good FT%, very good touch on shots within 15 feet). And he showed flashes of hitting 3's in HS..

He's tough, physical. Has some flashes of defending out on the perimeter..

There's a world where we get a pick in like the 17-22 range..I could see Toombs being on the board and I could also see him being a future starting big here..
