Early look at the 2026 draft

[CFAN38]

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!
