2026 NBA Draft Thread

[Who]

Thunder now have 3 bigs that would be numbers 1s for most other teams.

We have Queta and Garza. SMH

They also still have Thomas Sorber who was drafted at 15 last year and missed the entire year with an injury.

They may also be losing Hartenstein tho, given their tax constraints.

Their bench is ridiculous.

Starters: SGA, Dort, J-Dub, Chet, Hartenstein
Rotation: Cason, Caruso, Ajay, J McCain, Jaylin Williams
3rd string: N Topic, I Joe, Kenrich Williams, T Sorber, Aday Mara

[Who]

So Chicago have

F: Buzelis, Okoro, Noa Essengue, Dailyn Swain
F: Caleb Wilson, Pat Williams, Leonard Miller

OKC adds Stirtz. More fire power.

[Ilikesports17]

Just tuning in. Quick scan of the draft so far doesnt seem like any big risers or fallers(or trades)

Am I missing anything?

Didnt do my homework this year so Ill spend the next hour attaching myself to random players and losing my mind when theyre taken before us or we pass on them

First ephemeral fixation: Maleek Thomas - for no reason other than he was coached by John Calipari

OKC adds Stirtz. More fire power.

Did they trade up?

[Celtics2021]

Shams twitter said #16 went to OKC for two second rounders, but I will assume that Memphis also got pick 17 and just moved back a single spot.

Yes

Keep waiting to hear a trade where the Cs acquire a pick in the early 20s for Hauser but suspect that doesn't happen if the plsyer he wants isn' there

Yep. Shams just missed the most important part of the swap, no biggie.

I miss Woj

I dont believe Sam Hauser can get you a first round pick actually.

[celticinorlando]

So Detroit just traded 21 and 3 seconds to get number 17 from Memphis

[Who]

Daniss Jenkins, Ebuka Okorie, Marcus Sasser

3 backup PGs behind Cade Cunningham their starting PG. Curious selection.

[Phantom255x]

Holy moly. Grizzlies basically traded down 5 draft spots through 2 trades and accumulated five second rounders.

Also tracking Quaintance from Kentucky

[Phantom255x]

I hope the C's get either Veesaar, Reed Jr, Quaintance or Ejiofor

All of them still available!

8 spots away, still there
