2026 NBA DRAFT CLASS

[peZt]

I dont know about Boozer man. I see a guy who is making it look "tough". If all the shots you are making are tough shots because you can't get easy looks against college level players, then I dont care if you drop a 30 bomb. This will not translate.
I thought the same thing about RJ Barett when he dropped 40 points on the US. Yes he had a great game, but nothing about that game screamed "I am a high level NBA guy" to me. Because, similiarly to Boozer, I saw a guy who was slow footed, struggled to create seperation and had to settle for tough fade aways or tough and contested layups and play bully ball. This works against 18 year olds, but stuff like that doesnt translate.

I dont know, I might be completely wrong, but Boozer seems like a super hit or miss guy to me. Either all these weaknesses dont matter and his skills will translate, then he is a star. If not, I dont see how big his floor would be as an undersized, slow footed 4

It looked pretty easy to me. I didn't see him struggling. R.J. problem wasn't it looking hard, it was he had true limitations that showed in college. When I think of it looking hard, I think of Hansbrough. Cam Boozer, everything looks easy. Looks quality. Doesn't look smooth as he moves like his pops with superior functional fluidity over his pops.

The comp everyone wants to give him is Paolo. I see him like his dad but just a much better basketball player. He is a lot more fluid, it shows on both ends. I like his vision more than his pops. His decision making and feel is tremendous just like it was for his pops. His explosiveness is pretty good like his pops. Tremendous leg strength like his pops. The fluidity is where he just is superior. He can move a lot better although their movements is similar. They have similar frame and body type. Obviously Cam skill training is massively better. One is from Alaska and the other been getting elite training from NBA guys since he's been hooping. Compared to AJ and Darryn, Basketball looks way too easy to Cam mentally where the others are simply advanced for their age.

While I think Boozer is a much better college player than Flagg. I think Flagg is a better prospect. His upside is just higher. As for Darryn and AJ. Both of them are in the most elite tier. Sure, they aren't Wemby or Bron which are cornerstones, they are with Zion, Flagg, Oden, and AD for sure. Franchise game changers. They are competing with those two for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th best prospect of this century till this point. Boozer for me is there with Carmelo, Yao Ming, Durant, Embiid, and Blake Griffin. That's the elite college tier but I have questions about how they would translate to the NBA as superstars due to athleticism or size or health or defense or positional versatility or next level upside.

Different for each one. Durant and Embiid lived up and KD surpassed my expectations. The rest slightly underachieved or just hit my expectations. Hopefully Boozer surpasses it. It's just hard because I simply see Cam as a true 4. Even though I saw his pops as a true 4 who could play some small ball 5 at times if needed. I don't see that yet for Cam. I know Zion had positional versatility questions but when Zion was younger, he was tracking like a mini Shaq. It's hard to find a prospect as productive in the paint in NBA history who in particular didn't start already around the paint.

This is the draft i REALLLY need the Pels to just crap the bed and have Zion miss all the games for lol. We starting off well though with the Pels 0-2

Hahahah. They traded their 1st with no protections to the Hawks to get Queen.

I mean Queen is a solid player but i honestly liked Asa Newell as much as i did Queen last year coming out. So the quality of the player we even traded down for to get + that unprotected pick in this monster class coming up was still crazy to me.

And like clockwork my boy Zion already needing some games off for a injury it looks like lol. I really hate that he can't stay healthy he is a awesome talent but if he's gonna do it anyways i need him to make it this year lol.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander:

This is the draft where we really want the Hawks to just crap the bed and have Trae be a crybaby about his next contract all year. Hopefully the Hawks just keep up the Lord's work at 1-3...

Oh im not against you wanting us to fail lol. You should 100% want that to happen if your a Spurs fan if you didn't i would consider you a absolute fool XD

Difference is we still get the Spurs pick back this year so i can hope 2 teams fail to your 1 bwahahahaha

[Chuck Everett]

Karim Lopez going top 4. I kind of wonder where I'd like to see him end up. If he landed in Indiana, then that spells the end of Jarace Walker's tenure there. San Antonio (with the Hawks pick) would be interesting, but truth be told, not a good place. They have too many mouths to feed now (and are good). So hopefully the Hawks right the ship and at least are in the 10-17 pick range.

Spurs fans wish bad on the Hawks last year and ended up without Wemby for most of the year.

No matter what happens with the Pels, I am not wishing them bad. Am I cheering for them to win. Nope! But I watch their games just watching Basketball.

Yah, Wilson screams star based on that single game. He was so hard to find high school games of relative to other guys. Liking what I see so far.

[babyjax13]

Man the Byu unc game was good. Wilson and Dybantsa are nuts.

Now this i can agree with i like zion quite a bit so i don't want the dude to get hurt. But it is also well known he misses a ton of time sadly. Now i on the other hand am wishing them bad. But a healthy bad where no one gets hurt and they just lose alot of games to be the worst record in the league

You can tell when you have an elite college HS class. They just dominate college basketball so badly.

Oh baby this class is making me feel much better about my Grizz being bad this year. Just develop Coward and make sure we are bad enough to get two lottery picks. Two top 7 picks in this draft and you are coming away with 2 strong prospects.
Peterson and Dybasnta have me drooling

[Chuck Everett]

Koa should have been a Houston Cougar. I knew dude was going to show out this year. Absolutely dominated Florida.

[King Ken]

My recommendation is 2024 was the year you didn't want a top 10 pick. 2026 is the year you want as many as possible.

[BigGargamel]

Just remember not to overreact too badly during cupcake season. Everyone looks like a star in early November.

From what I’m seeing this is the best class of all time
