Following Potential 2026 Draftees

[SoberasHotRod]

Not been following Lopez at all. I am very intrigued now (obviously after probably seeing his best game). But of note, his dexterity at his size looks nice and I really really like the arc and form on his jumper.

Back when I was following him pretty closely I was super turned off by his defense. He also has very little explosion/lift and gets blocked regularly by Aussie bigs.

He can shoot though and still one of the youngest players in the draft putting up good numbers in a pro league. He's interesting, I think I'm out as far as a fit for the Jazz though.

Not sure where he (or someone like him) would be mocked in this draft, but I'd be so willing to gamble on this archetype with a pick that's 20 or later. Like, very willing. The jazz roster is begging for a point center.
