Early look at the 2026 draft

I want Hugo?s Spanish teammate Aday Mara

At #27 id be thrilled with Mara but I suspect he goes much higher and the closer to the lottery he gets the less I like the pick. The draft is very prone to runs on player types. Years ago when Shaq was dominating we had a run on 7' 280+lb centers, Dirk started a run on 3pt shooting euros, and now I think Wemby is ushering in a new found interesting in the 7'++ guys. Mara is a solid big man prospect but his core strength, FT shooting, lateral mobility leaves me projecting him at more of a Kornet ceiling. Great pick up after pick 20 but some mocks have him top 10!

I could live with Mara, but I have seen around the 15-20 range.   Maybe if we trade a piece we will demand a draft pick.

Google ai says the c's have interest in Alex Karaban from uconn

I am curious if Sacramento would be silly enough to trade a top three pick and LaVine, for Brown (plus future picks).

trade a cost-controlled potential all-star for someone on a huge contract even if it is JB?  not happening and I'm a big JB supporter. 

having said that, if the BPA available is Boozer, I wouldn't make that trade from Boston's standpoint.  I just think  he's going to underwhelm in the NBA
