Following Potential 2026 Draftees

As of this moment, if we end up with a pick in the 6 to 8 range, I might prefer to use it as a trade chip than to draft someone. (Obviously depending on who is available)
 
My initial impression of the 5-8 range is that these prospects are as good or better than the 3-7 range last year.
 
All I know so far is I like the idea of the guys in the top 4 based on what little I’ve seen and heard about them. I am sure I will develop a draft crush. Thought it would be Tounde but then I watched him in a game and was not impressed at all. I could see Mullins, Peat, Fleming, Philon being the irrational crush.
 
Ngongba might be the best big man in the draft. I think I would put him ahead of Cenac. Wish he was a bit more dominant as a rim protector, but he is developing a nice all around game.
 
Cam Boozer clear best player in the draft. Don’t deny it anymore. It’s clear as day. Succumb to his greatness.
 
Florida has been a big disappointment so far and I hate to say it, but it's because of their guard play. I like both Lee and Fland, but they both forgot how to shoot this year.

Lee was a 37% 3pt shooter last year and is shooting 21% this year. Fland was a 40% 3pt shooter before his hand injury last year and is shooting 24% this year. They are both too small to play next to each other and have no synergy together.

Condon has good stats so far this year, but whenever I've watched he's been bad. I thought Florida would be the best team in the NCAA this year, but they aren't even close.

I think Fland/Lee figure it out. They might not be a great backcourt, but they I think they are better than they have shown.

Alex Lloyd and CJ Ingram not being able to contribute as Freshman (Ingram was a top 20 recruit, Lloyd a top 40) means they dont have much depth.
 
None of Duke's perimeter players really peak my interest all that much. Not sure any of them are first round pick quality.
 
Talking about moving Keyonte to the secondary for a less talented player who plays a similar style is crazy

First of all, you can have both. Keyonte is already moving off the ball for Isaiah Collier and WCJ with the bench units, and he's thriving playing off the catch. Having him share possessions with Brown won't hold him back. It'll free him up.

Second of all, Brown is probably BPA once you get to 6 or 7 in this draft. And as much as I like Keyonte and liked him as a prospect, Brown is a higher-level prospect at the same stage.
 
Sometimes I wonder if Haugh has some Deni Avidja upside. He's just good at a lot of things, nice size, underrated athlete, and his shot is slowly coming along. The 3pt% isnt there yet, but his shot looks more confident and quicker this season.
