Following Potential 2026 Draftees

I only watched the first quarter someone posted then a full-game highlights video.

Did the Chinese kid not get to play after his little run?

Kiyan Anthony looked like trash. Ariza's kid looked like he could be someone one day.
 
After this game my top 4 order would go:

Peterson
Dybantsa

Boozer

Ament

On my watch list is Harwell, Acuff Jr, Tounde, Arenas, Brown Jr. and Bundalo

Lol, I've already updated this to:

Dybantsa

Boozer
Peterson
Tounde

Watchlist: Ament, Harwell, McKenney, Arenas, Acuff Jr, Brown Jr, Bundalo, Sarr,

I don't remember Zhang playing in the second half, so he either didn't catch my eye or didn't get more time. I've seen Kiyan Anthony look pretty good, but I don't think he's anything special.
 
It's crazy how many of the 2026 class is older than Flagg. Tounde is going to be 19 in a month. Seems like he could play in the NBA right now. Maybe not be great or anything, but physically belong.
I didn't realize he was that old, agreed he's physically ready for the NBA, maybe he should have reclassified.
 
I googled and it said it might have been because he didnt do the mini camps during the AAU season.
Thanks.

That's too bad because the Nike Hoop Summit is better than the McDonald's game. Following him in the Chipotle tournament left me a little concerned (he missed a lot of shots), but it's also not that fair since those are actual competitive games.
 
Cam Boozer is the best player in the class imo. AJ Dybansta is a close second.

I've seen Cam the most now since he was in all of the recent games/tournament that I've been following, so I feel like I know him the best out of this class. My first reaction to seeing him was being really underwhelmed with his athleticism. I had kind of built him up as a prospect after hearing about him for so long. At one point Tony Jones called him the best player in high school when he was a junior and Cooper Flagg was still playing.

What is clear is that he is extremely skilled for his size. He can really shoot, pass, has great hands, plays smart, plays hard... So basically everything besides his athleticism looks great. I'm exited to see him at Duke next year. I think he'll be very good there. If he can show the ability to defend, I can easily see me moving him to 1.

He’s getting a lot of modern Tim Duncan comps right now.
 
Just got around to watching the whole game. Dybantsa and Boozer are just incredible. They are men amongst boys out there and highly skilled as well.

Tounde looked awesome physically, also clearly a T1 athlete. He’s got to be on top 10 watch for 2026.

Ament - Cody vibes ngl.

Sarr - Thought he looked the part of a first rounder. Not physically as mature as the T1 athletes, but room to grow. I would definitely consider him with #21 if he stays.
 
Normally players like Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa would be valued a bit more than a big like Cam Boozer because they can play on the ball, beat defenders off the dribble, and create advantages. I think Peterson and Dybantsa will continue to be the top 2 guys in the class.
 
Yep. We probably tanking even harder next year.
I don’t disagree, but I think there’s a decent chance that the Jazz will look at their only real option to bottom out and try to build through the draft by “potentially” getting franchise caliber players.

My guess is that next year will resemble 22/23 - fire sale in the offseason, and then full tear down at the deadline.
