2026 NBA Draft Thread

[Yuma]

Once again the NBA has a bad draft format. They refuse to announce trades before the picks, and make guys wear the wrong hats, etc. It's horrible for fans. The Cro Magnons in the NFL can figure out how to do it, why can't the NBA? I've heard the league office is filled with lawyers. Here's another example of why people hate lawyers.

Suns could of had Veersaar at 47. I'm surprised he fell. I think he will be like C Frye

I'm shocked he fell that far. I like the Frye comparison also. He won't be a world beater but he looks like he'll be no less than a decent backup for the next 5-10 years.

Narcisse Ngoy, who the Clippers selected with the 57th pick in the NBA Draft, informed the team that he will be playing for Auburn next year instead. Ngoy committed to the Tigers in March and never formally declared for the draft or went through the process.

Just a reminder: starting next season, the NBA will implement a “snake” format for the second round of the NBA Draft.That means, whatever order the lottery was, will be reversed during the second round. Whoever picks No. 1 in the first round will pick 16th in the second round.So, whoever drafts No. 16 next season, will receive the No. 1 pick of the second round.Wild. (major credit to

I've played board and card games like this. Sometimes that middle spot with back to back picks is fun. Probably sucks in the draft though.
