Here is my early 2026 NBA draft board. Top 30 in a class that is talented, deep, and diverse in skillsets. This is going to be a really fun class to continue watching. What do we think? Hit me with any questions/comments.

I'm really interested to see how Meleek Thomas is used at Arkansas this season. A lot of mouths to feed could see him slide into a more off-ball role than what he's typically been in, which I think could pay dividends for his draft stock. His skillset can translate nicely into

A bunch of folks told on themselves.
@Hoops_GE Absolutely unhinged takes. They were calling him a potential bust.

Who remembers the absurd, reactionary takes that came from Wemby’s short summer league stint?.

This game highlighted a lot of my concerns with Peat’s projection. Defense packed the paint on him and was able to match his physicality, leaving Koa considerably less effective on offense. Going to be curious to see how he adjusts to this sort of gameplan in college.
not yet sure how Koa Peat would fit in the NBA.

Close game down the stretch for team USA. I wanna see Mikel/AJ get into a takeover mode and put this thing away down the stretch.

It’s been really cool to see AJ Dybantsa toggle between getting his within the flow of the offense and turning on the assertiveness. Important balance and likely a good learning experience for him.

Rob-Clark-TSJ-Miller-Beringer actually sounds fun as hell. Those guys are gonna get out and run.

We need Big Pat healthy.
The 2026 draft as of now has like 0 quality centers. Chris Cenac and JQ are more PF’s than C’s.

Yeah, Koa isn’t fooling me.
one of my big scouting lessons over the years has been to devalue FIBA youth competition, it just isn't a reliable context for projecting forward. obviously it's good to dominate any sample, but i wouldn't make any strong conclusions from this u19 tournament.

Watching LeBron and Pop embrace as he brings San Antonio a 6th championship will be special.
For what this is worth, I think a lot of fanbases have started to underrate LeBron. He was still a top-10 player last season for me. He fits on basically any team and doesn’t really have any weaknesses even at 40 besides, well, being 40 and that coming with some inevitable risk.

WNBA had a really unique chance to spearhead the professional basketball scene in 2 growing, cool cities (that players would probably enjoy more, too) in Austin & Nashville.
Fever star Sophie Cunningham on the WNBA expanding to multiple new cities over the next few years:. "I don’t know how excited people are to be going to Detroit or [Cleveland]"

League does not need to cut games. The NBA and USAB need to take control of youth basketball and cut down on how many miles these kids are putting on their bodies. Kids play more games than ever now because of a broken youth basketball system. The miles should pile up when.
Listen to this man. He’s 100% spot on. The game today is nothing like it used to be. This isn’t the 1990s or 00s anymore, when point guards would walk the ball up the floor every possession to dictate a slow methodical offensive set for post-ups or isolations, while everyone.

We can’t keep using points and rebounds as eval tools in 2025.
guys can we be fr for one second… 4 years, +10M annually for a guy who turns 30 in two weeks, and has career averages of 5.2p and 3.5r isn’t a good thing

People’s reaction to the Luke Kornet pickup will be a fun ball knowledge litmus test.

Truly awesome get for the Spurs. This is pretty good value as is, and if he can start shooting it again it will unlock so much for this team.
Free agent center Luke Kornet has agreed to a four-year, $41 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN. Key frontcourt addition for the Spurs, who negotiated a contract tonight with Kornet's agent Max Wiepking of Gersh Sports.
