2026 NBA Draft Prospects

[PhilBlackson]

Such an awful time to not be on the tank and take advantage of a falsely inflated record for a single season because IND, BOS & ATL may all leapfrog us to join NYK, DET & likely CLE ahead us but anyways...

Assuming health, I think we're picking 16-22 and in that range right now it looks mainly like guards are the BPAs ie/ Acuff, Philon, Meleek Thomas & Cayden Boozer buuuut another player that might not be exactly a "position of need" but possible BPA/bit of a steal (as it stands very early in the process) is Dame Sarr.

6'7, long arms, can really defend, shows some ability to create off the dribble a little bit & knockdown shots...apparently his "off court intangibles" are through the roof ie/ being very coachable, gym rat & willingness to do whatever asked etc so you know that will resonate with our FO.

I'd definitely keep an eye on him if he hopefully can remain bit of a sleeper pick...Jasper Johnson might be another one to watch too.

Assuming we pick in the teens or higher If this draft is for real then we can still pick a star, that's how much faith I have in our front office. Doesn't have to be a star per say but someone of need who has a star impact, we keep chipping away until we find a trade that also leapfrogs us in contender territory.

This is just simply not true. You overrate draft prospects and players on other teams. For example, you said that drafting Scoot would turn our team into a dynasty. Last year you said the 2025 draft class was riddled with talent and that it’d be devastating to miss out on a game changing talent like Bailey and Flagg.

Ha Scoot! I had Cason Wallace rated higher than Scoot. Speaking of that draft Coulibaly has been getting worse.

Just shows how much of a crapshoot the draft can be. These prospects look great against high schoolers and college players, but does it translate to the pros? So many "can't miss" prospects that were supposed to turn franchises around have been very disappointing and failed to live up to the hype. Over the past 5 years, I can count on one hand the number of franchise players that have been drafted.

[ATLTimekeeper]

Scoot? I lked Scoot but i was all in on Wemby not Scoot.....I was advocating the Raptors to tank as hard as they can for Wemby because i knew he was generational while you were saying he would be a complete bust.....I said Scoot and Miller would have been decent consolation prizes if we missed out on Wemby but going for Wemby was always and should have been the goal at that time for us...The 2025 draft class is riddled with talent....Harper/Bailey/Flagg/Edgecombe/Kon/Queen/CMB/Coward/Fears/Tre all look very very promising ....All of these players look like they will be key parts to their teams futures....Which in one draft class thats pretty stacked if you look at past classes....2026 will be even better.

I won't get into your history or whatever, but I want to just point out that 'consolation prizes' for me aren't really all that interesting or worth throwing a season for. I think the '2nd option' is maybe the easiest asset to acquire in the NBA. The superstar is the hardest, but as I said historically one is attained through the top of the draft roughly 1 every 2 seasons. So like a 10% shot over two seasons of landing in the bottom five after the lottery draw.

When I look at this draft, of course it appears stacked at the top at the moment, but I make my calls with more data. So at this point I'm especially cautious of hype. I referenced Jonathan Givony saying last year's class had 5 1st overall picks. After a handful of games last year people thought Egor Demin was a top 3 pick. So, without getting into tank talk at all I'm more talking about allowing the process of results to play out. This is typically the first test of elevated competition, and then there's the unknown of how they will look in the NBA.

The natural tendency is to upsell potential, which is what I was talking about re CMB. I just wanted you to take that and also apply it to players that aren't Raptors.

[PushDaRock]

That's actually not the worst case scenario.

Imagine we were still able to get CMB by trading back up a little from that 23rd pick. I'm not certain where CMB goes if we don't take him 9. I think there's a chance he slides.

Does OKC or San Antonio take Ochai and 23 to move up and take CMB? Maybe

Then we basically traded Ochai for a top 10 pick in this draft.

remember this is all happening in real time. We went thru an entire draft cycle process, narrowed in on a player for our team needs/potential future and then at the last second supposedly got an offer to move down 14 whole spots for a future 1st.
Then you guys wanna try and circle back up into the draft all in real-time.
Now personally I would've done it, and Newell was on the board, he fits a need for us. But I can't fault for taking your guy either,

I don't think there is any excuses for the front office not pulling the trigger on that trade when it was offered to us....Pelicans are in the West + never showed in the last while to be a good winning team. Even if you wanted CMB he is not on that level to turn down such a great trade.

We also moved down during that draft Lottery ending up 9th in the draft we offered the pick + Barrett for Derrick White....I mean if you are going to do that kind of a trade why in the hell would you turn down that Pelicans trade....Just a boneheaded move which could cost us and make the Hawks all that much more harder to beat in the future.

Just feels like the front office in Raptors land has been 1 step behind every single time when it comes to asset management for a while now.

They likely had CMB rated in their Top 5. So, you're essentially trading CMB who you rated Top 5 for the 23rd pick + Possible Lotto Pick next season with no guarantees. That seems like a move that's pretty silly to do when you already have the player you really like available.

Really Peterson and Dybansta are the only 2 players that will be for sure perennial allstars. I see Boozer like Paulo Banchero. Is Banchero really going to lead Orlando the Finals? I don't think so. They sold the farm for Bane and IQ looks like a better contract than Bane's. Orlando is danger of treadmilling.

I'm not making any claims on Boozer's ceiling as yet but his bball IQ & shooting is ahead of Paolo's and I think he can actually end up the better player because of that despite Paolo probably be an inch or two taller. Paolo wasn't doing what Cam is right now at Duke. I don't like something about Cam's jumper, it doesn't look great to me but nonetheless it is a little better than Banchero's and I just think he reads the basketball court better overall. Paolo has some underrated passing ability as well but I still think Cam has better court mapping and decision making. I think Boozer has a bit more "Cade" to his game than Banchero, obv Cade is quicker and more guard-like but I just think there's a greater ability to read and react.

As for having CMB rated in their top 5, I dunno man lol look I love CMB but idk how he would be rated above the aforementioned 3 plus you still have Wilson, Neo, Brown Jr, Ament, Tounde (who barely gets talked about yet he looks something like another AntMan)....I'm sorry but there's no way and I'm willing for someone to hold me to CMB not ending up better than the best 5 of this upcoming draft long term.

This Pelicans pick is not guaranteed to be Top 5 unless you think they will end up the worst team in the league.

It's very much on the board lol I'll be shocked though if they are any better than bottom 4, Zion is already struggling to stay healthy with a hamstring with barely a handful of games into the season and they've only put a greater workload on him this year, not to mention bringing in a new coach post training camp (such an idiotic franchise), trying to restart things while they get further buried in the West - that has catastrophe written all over it.

I had this a 4 player draft with Cooper being #1, CMB #2, Harper #3, and Edgecombe #4 so it's not unreasonable the Raps had him top 5.
Also, top 3 RSCI guys bust all the time.

They have literally zero incentive to tank. You think they can out-tank all the teams that actually do?

It will be in that area of the draft....Ofc there is a lottery but they will more than likely have top 5 Odds going into lottery night....Which im sure the Hawks are smiling ear to ear with that pick rather than keeping it and taking one of the players at 13....Yes CMB is included in that as well because any team in the NBA would take a chance at top 5 lotto odds in the 2026 draft over CMB and majority of players in last years class outside of Flagg/Harper/Edgecomb....It was and is silly that we did not accept that trade offer by the Hawks when it was offered to us because the Pelicans have a horrible track record and are in the hard western conference they were and are destined to be a bad team.

You can't come at me about praising Scoot during his draft cycle after taking a look at your posts about Scoot you were saying he would be the Number 1 pick any other year....Makes you look kinda crazy to come at me for the same exact thing you were preaching on the board as well lol...You also said "Scoot, Miller, Wemby are the "Locks" in the Draft which means at that time you were also saying they were good consolation prizes...But anyways.

Ofc there will be misses and hits in any draft class but usually if you watch enough games of the players not just highlights, actual games you can see with your own eyes who will be the special players and who will be just maybe All star level or even a tier below that....

But this class when actually watching the games is just different....There are players that look like they could step on an NBA team right now and perform at a high level.....Also the performances do matter because yes a player could get hyped to the moon like Wiggins for example....I remember the Wiggins hype but after watching his games in college i was not really blown away with how he was performing....This class there are multiple players i watch and see these guys could be special.

I didn't come at you about Scoot, that was someone else. If I did like Scoot (I don't think I did, but if you have the receipts then post them), that doesn't mean that I know what I'm talking about re prospects. It means the opposite, which is what I'm arguing. The point is we're both wrong all the time. The results are what they are.

Key word there is "chance". If you actually take a look at how many bad teams there are and how many teams have gotten off to poor starts that can pivot to a tank, you wouldn't be so confident. Finishing Top 5 is far from a lock. As inept as Dumars is, It's still pretty difficult to win less than 25 games when actually trying to win.

Ya, after the top 3 there are another 2-3 guys that look like they are on Harper's level.
