Final 2026 NBA Mock Draft (Including Giannis Trade) in Under 21 Mins · Bleacher Report

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So we're just a few days away from the twenty
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: twenty six NBA Draft. We have done a couple mock
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: drafts so far, but let's do a final mock draft
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: with some trades in it, because we know we're going
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to see some trades on the night of the draft.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And this is the NBA Draft Board powered by aws
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: AWSAI is how the NBA brings fans inside the game.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: So here at the number one overall pick, I still
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be the Washington Wizards selecting aj
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: de Bonsa on the night of the draft. Now, there's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: been some weird things coming out around Trey Young.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Darren Peterson is only.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Working out with the Washington Wizards as of now, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: there's definitely a possibility where Darren Peterson is going one
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in the draft or the Wizards end up trading down
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to two to select Peterson. But I still think right now,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Aja Debonsa is going to be the first name.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Off the board.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I think when we look back on this draft in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: twenty years and you see somebody like aj Debonsa if
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: he reaches his fullest ceiling as a six' to nine
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: three level scorer wing in today's modern, game you can't
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: pass up on. That so here at the number two overall,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: PICK i do believe The Utah jazz are going to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Select Darren peterson out Of. Kansas last Year Danny ange
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: did this as, well where acepell he didn't really want
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to go To utah And Danny ainge did not. Care
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: he's going to take the guy that he wants in
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: THE Nba, draft and that's going to Be peterson here
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: at number. Two, now could this mean that they delay
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: The Cante george, Extension, yes but when you're looking at
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the long term, Upside Darren peterson can either be the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: star point guard or shooting guard there In, utah this
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: could still end up Being Cameron boozer at the end
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: of the. DAY i feel like this could still be
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: fluid until the day of THE Nba draft or right.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: NOW i think it's going to BE aj, One peterson,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: two which leads us to number, three AND i Think
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: memphis maybe has the easiest decision here on the night
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of the. Draft they're just going to take who's ever
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: available at number three out of this, trio and that's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: going to Be Cameron boozer. Here i'm really excited about
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the idea of A Cameron Boozer Zach edy frontcourt long,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: term And memphis we'll still have to see if they
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: trade Away jammer or. Not but, hey a Jam, Rant Sedja,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: coward Maybe Jalen, Wells Cameron boozer And Zach edy starting
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: five is going to be a lot of fun to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: watch that can grow in The Western. Conference they don't
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: need to compete for a title anytime soon because you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: got The spurs and The thunder out, there but this
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: is how they could build up their front.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Court and you're getting somebody with the highest.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: BASKETBALL iq in draft and probably the highest floor out
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of any of these top three. Guys and THEN i
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: feel like something we know with certainty here is going
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to be who's going to be the fourth pick in the?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Draft Kale wilson to The Chicago.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Bulls it's just very likely That wilson is going to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: be the fourth guy going out of these four. Guys
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: maybe there's a surprise pick Where Kale wilson ends up
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: going number three To, memphis but right, NOW i do
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: think he's going to end up being A Chicago. Bull
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: bryce And graham just Hired Thiago splitter as the next
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: head coach and Kill wilson can be one, of if
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: not the best defensive player in this class from day,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: one and long, term you're getting somebody that could switch
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: on multiple guys on the. Perimeter he could be a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: great transition, defender and he's going to be a lot
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of fun to watch offensively With Josh gitty setting him
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: up for years to. Come so right, now it's The
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles clippers picking number, five BUT i actually have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a trade, here the first and multiple trades we're going
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to have in this mock, draft and that's going to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: be The Sacramento kings moving up to number.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Five and swamping seven to.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Five they're gonna have to give up a twenty thirty
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: pick swamp which is going to be top three, protected
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and they're going up to Select darius A cuff BECAUSE
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: i do believe If darius Ay cuff is there at number,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Six brooklyn is going to take them AND i feel
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Like sacramento he to that star point guard long, term
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and that could Be darius A, cuff who was just
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a monster this past year For. Arkansas, hey smaller guards
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: have tend to work out over the last, year where
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we just Saw Jalen brunson One FINALS. Mvp i'm not
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: saying that A cuff is going to Be Jalen, brunson
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: BUT i do think that you can win with a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: smaller guard that's maybe not the best defensive prospect in the.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: World he WAS Sec player of The year as a.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Freshman he's one of the best players in this. Class
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And sacramento should do this trade to get themselves their
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: next franchise point guard after they traded Away haliburton And
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: fox so here at number. Six Since brooklyn is not
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to Take darius A, CUFF i think
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they're just going to Take Keaton. WOGOR i think you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: can have a couple of different lineups out there With
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: wagglar And Yegor. Gentleman if you want to Have yegor
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be more of a point guard kind of like how
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he was coming out A, byu or it could still
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: be a spot up three point shooter because he was
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a tremendous three point shooter as a rookie last. Year
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: no idea they're going to make a big splash move
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for like An Austin, reeves or they get a trade
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Away Michael Porter junior this. Offseason either, way they could Take,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: woggor who could play the, one you could play the.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Two they can just have a big wine up out
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: there With Yegor woggor And Michael Porter. Junior so Apparently
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Los angeles really likes mckel brown AND i feel like
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: mckel brown will be there at number. Seven so that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: why they're making this trade to move down with The
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Sacramento kings to select mckl Brown junior out Of.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Louisville he's apparently killed the.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Workout Steve, balmer the, owner was there in person at
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: his PRO da right after the, combine AND i do
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: believe THAT Mikel brown was healthy.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: This past year At.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Louisville he would be in consideration to go four or
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: five in this. Draft his numbers didn't look the best this,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: year but he has that prospect. Pedigree he's got that,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: size he's got the form to be an a leitch
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: shooter at THE nba. Level so at number, Eight i've
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: mocked To daymara A ton to The Atlanta, Hawks but
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: right Now i'm kind of getting the vibe that they're
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: going to go with a guard and that could Be
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Kingston flemings out Of. Houston Kingston flemings is also a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: super safeguard prospect in this. Class maybe doesn't have the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: upside of the three guards that have went ahead of,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: him but he's going to be a good. Defender he's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: going to be a really good mid range. Shooter he
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: can just kind of control the offense and can also
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: be a solid three point shooter where they can now
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have him REPLACE.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Cj McCullum in a few.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Years if they were to bring back McCullum this, offseason
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you can actually have a backward with him And Dyson
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: daniels out there at the same, time and those are
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: two really good defenders in your perimeter. Backward so then
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: here at number, NINE i have my second trade BECAUSE
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: A daymara is still on the. Board okac is gonna
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: have some Second apron restrictions this off. Season they're gonna
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: try to shed as much money as. POSSIBLE i think
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: they're going to try to leverage twelve and seventeen to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: move up to nine With dallas to select A Day.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Mara they're gonna trade these two first round. Picks they've
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: done it in the. Past they moved on from draft
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: picks for maybe future picks or to move, up and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: here they're gonna take the best rim, protector the best
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: center in the, strength in my, opinion in a Day.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Mara not sure If hertenstein is gonna be back As
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Thomas sorber gonna be day one. Ready jay will is
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a good, offense a big. Man do trust them anchoring the?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Paint do trust moving chats to the. Five this gives
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you some, insurance and this is SOMETHING okac can. Afford
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: even if they take a chance On mara and it
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't work, out they're gonna be. Okay but what if
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it does work, Out you get somebody that's seven foot,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: three seven foot four that moves extremely well side a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: side that could be the anchor of the paint when
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you're going up Against Victor wenbinyama for the next.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: DECADE i feel like A daymar could be a perfect
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: trade up option FOR.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Okc so at number, Ten i'm making this pick Thinking
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: giannis will get. Traded AND i do believe That milwaukee's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: going to Take native. Men apparently THIS nata men's, floor
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: AND i know What John horst, likes and this is
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the prospect That John horst will take out Of. TENNESSEE
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: nata meant about six foot ten can handle the ball
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: fairly well for somebody at his. Size is he going
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to be a? Forward does he want to play like a?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Guard does he want to play like a? Big he's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a solid three point. Shooter it needs to get. Better
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: he needs to have more aggressiveness around the. Rim he
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: did a good job getting to the three throw, line
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: But i'd like to see him throw down a couple more.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Dunks he has a chance to grow And.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee this team will probably be bad for the next few,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: years but either, way they.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Can be patient around. Natament they can build him up long.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Term he definitely has the highest upside out of any
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of like the wings.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Or even some of the guards.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Remaining so here at number, ELEVEN i feel really good
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: about this. One he already had a pre draft work out.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: THERE i think he wants to be A Golden State.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Warrior I'm Jaxell lenneberg out Of michigan going to The
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Golden State. Warriors somebody that Is day ONE nba, ready
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and that's what The warriors need. Now they could definitely
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: trade this picker for a, player or maybe they're involved
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in a bigger trade down the, line but they could
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Take yaxl who could be the much needed front court
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: depth they need With Draymond breen getting, Older Jimmy bowler
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: recovered from HIS acl, Tear Moses moody might be out
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: all of next year as. Well yaxel could just be
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a physical presence down low that could space the flour
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: With Steph. Curry and now you have him a Returning, Jimmy,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Draymond Gie santo's that's a really good forward rotation at
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: full strength in The Western. Conference now let's go to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: our prospect of the week powered BY, aws and we're
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: gonna look At Yaxel, lendenberg WHO i think would just
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: be a great fit In Golden. State and we could
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: see here what he did at the. Combine he had
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a seven foot three and a quarter, Wingspan he weighed
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: in at two hundred and forty one. Pounds i'm just
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: so impressed By yaxell's size and just kind of what
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he could display at the next. Level we saw how
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: important handwidth could be at THE mba at the highest,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: level Where Karl Anthony towns was able to tip In
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Dylan harper's pass at the end of game number, four
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And yaxll measured out very well where he was able
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to have a handwidth of about ten, inches a hand
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: length of nine inches as, well and you look at
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: him compared in this class with his, height he's actually
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: like right Under Jade. Acquaintance he's ahead of some centers as,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: well and you can see he's ranked thirteen in a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: hand with in this, class WHICH i think is going
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to translate very nicely at the next level because if
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: he goes to a team Like Golden, state you could
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: see yaxxl ended up shooting forty seven point three percent
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: on corner threes last, year and he's going to get
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: so many corner looks playing With Steph curry if that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: were to. Happen you can also see his spot up
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: percentage was that twenty five and a half, percent which
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: is way better than the positional, average and he's one
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: point two spot up point.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Per, possession which is exactly what you.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Want he's going to get so many spot up three
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: looks playing With Steph curry and guys with gravity And Golden.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: State this would be a seamless.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Fit so this trade works out perfectly for The Dallas
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: mavericks because at number twelve is somebody they could have
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: taken at number, nine and that is going to Be Brandon,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: burry somebody that could be a good glue guy next
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: To Kyrie irving And Cooper flag right. Away he could
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: be a good corner three point, shooter spot up three point.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Shooter and if you can get that and now pick
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: seventeen to add to your, depth you have to do
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this trade if You're, dallas AND i think it's a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: win win trade for both. Sides so at, thirteen HERE
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: i have another, trade and this one is actually predicting
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The Jannis ocetakupo, trade and this is going to be
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: The Milwaukee bucks at number, thirteen The Miami. Heat finally
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: get This yanis deal. Done we've been hearing about This
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: yannis trade idea or that we trade talks for. Weeks
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: it could Be Tower hero How May Hawkes Nicole jovic
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: two first round picks on top of. Thirteen With yannis
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: going To South beach and Now milwaukee's going into this.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Rebuild they took a chance on a high upside forward at,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Ten let's do the same at. Thirteen it's a wing forward,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: league and they could Take Karim mopez out of THE
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: nbl at. Thirteen he can develop and grow as a
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: defender In milwaukee because he needs to improve a lot
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: on that end of the. Floor BUT i think he's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: going to be a really good spot up three point.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: SHOOTER i think he could be a really good stretch
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: for at the end of his rookie. Contract and he's
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: not going to get thrown into the fire too much right.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Away he has a chance to grow learn from his
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: mistakes In, milwaukee And John horst Takes Nata mett And
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Karim mopez to kick start off the Post jannis.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Era so at, Fourteen charlotte is on the.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Board now this is going to be the Third Michigan
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: wolverine going in the.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: LOTTERY i Have Morris johnson going at.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Fourteen we might have A horneage trade later in, this
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but right, now they're going to Take Morris johnson to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: be that bruiser power forward going forward for them next
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to their center in the front.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Court Morris johnson could be he a small ball.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Five he's got the, size he's got the, length he's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: got the wingspan to do so he's going to be
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a great. Rebounder he's going to extend possessions For Brandon,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Miller Konk nipple And LaMelo ball and they just need
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: this type of depth In charlotte right. Now So chicago's
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: second pick here in the first, round they were able
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to get this one from The Portland. Trailblazers they're taking
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite prospects in this, Class Cameron carr
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: at A baylor WHO i think would be maybe mckelbridge's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: two point zero if it can improve as a defender
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: with HIS iq on that end of the, floor AND
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: i think Under Thiago splitter that would be great for.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Him he gets to play With Kile, wilson who they
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: take here at number, four But Cam carr could be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a good three point shooter for the. Team he could
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: work really well in transition with that run and gun
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: style With Josh, giddy Bozellas Kill wilson And Camp.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Carr and then here at.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Sixteen it's one of my favorite picks here in the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: first sixteen picks of the. Draft he falls and that's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: going to be a Le Baron filon out Of alabama
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: going To. Memphis this could be a Post Jama rant trade.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Pick this could be even With Jamar rant right, now
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: BUT i Think Babaran filon would fit exactly what they're
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: trying to do With Tumas isilo And Cameron boozer at number,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: three File on could be this crafty. Score he could
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: run the pick and roll With Zach edy And Camera
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: bruiser for a long. Time AND i think this would
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: be a home run draft for The Memphis, grizzlies either
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: With John morant or Without John. Morant and now let's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: go to THE aws dashboard where we could see What
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Baron filon at the combine was a lightning quick and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: also has a solid max vertical leap for somebody at his,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: size where he ran that three quarter sprint at three
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: point zero nine, seconds which actually in this class was
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: number seventh, overall better than some of the guards that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: could go ahead of him in this. Class so here at,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Seventeen dallas gets another first round pick from that trade
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: down WITH okc, earlier and they may have some center
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: question marks going. Forward i'm gonna Take jaden quaint it's.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: HERE i think the upsidn is immense for A quaintance
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: as a rip, protector somebody that has a crazy. Wingspan
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: he's not like an undersigned center by any. Means and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: if you watch what he did in twenty twenty five At,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: arizona state as a seventeen year, old you know that
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: this could be a special defender at the next. Level
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: they made Trade gafford or they get Extend, lively who's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: going into the final year of His brookie. Contract either,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: way this gives you some insurance And quinta's also bus
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: needs to get thrown into the fire right. Away he
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: still want to the youngest players in this, class and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: then he can end up being your backup or even
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: starting center next year if they move on from Either
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: gafford Or. Lively so here at eighteen is going to Be.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Charlotte BUT i actually have another. Trade they've been rumored
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to adding a new center this, offseason and that's going
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to be with The Sacramento kings finally trading Away Demonta.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Sabonis The kings need to do, this they need to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: enter into a rebuild and For charlotte to have the,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: pieces they have the matching salary In Josh, Green Grant,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: williams top ten pick in the twenty twenty four, draft
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: T John, salon and then they would also give up
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: eight team maybe another future first or two could have
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: some protections on it For Demonta, sabonis who could be
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a fantastic rebounder who can extend possessions Like Morris. Johnson
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: he could space the flour for this team as. Well
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Under Charles, lee you Have Keigan, murray You Havene. Clifford
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we ended up Selecting DARIUS.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: A cuff.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Earlier they can Land Dalen, swing one of the best
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: perimeter defenders in this. Draft he's tremendous finishing around the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: rim and can get.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Downhill he's got a great wing.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Span he's a really good, defender and that's What sacramento.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Needs they need guys that could defend on the. Perimeter
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: no More Zack, olvine hopefully no More Demarta rosen and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: get that influx of youth and that could be who
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they can use from The sabonus trade and Select Dalen
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: swain out Of. Texas SO i Think toronto is in
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a really good spot here at. NINETEEN i think they
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: can go, big they can go. Guard there's three guards
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that are still available for them to. Take Christian anderson
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: would be a home run selection for. Them arguably the
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: best shooter in this, draft and this team was one
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of the worst three point shooting teams out of everybody
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs last. Year jamal shed is a great
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: defensive point, guard but you can definitely look for a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: little bit more floor spacing. There you don't really rely
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: too much on a menual. Quickly he's health over the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: last two. Years anderson can be a starting backup point
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: guard for you either right, away it could be in your.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Rotation he can hold his own.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Defensively this is just exactly what they need so at
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: twenty San antonio also NEEDS i think big man.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Depth we saw their demise in the.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Playoffs they couldn't really Bench wenby right they had Moved,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: cornett Biz, Back, Biambo Mason, Plumley Kelly. Olnik that is
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: way too many veteran big. Men let's bring In Chris
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: sanak From. Houston somebody that could be the, four could
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: be the. FIVE i think he actually has some four
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: spacing upside for what he did in high. School knacked
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: down a few threes this past year At. Houston he's
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: got a good, form good. Mechanics he's also a great.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Rebounder this is somebody who could play out there With
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: wemby Behind, wenby and it just gives them some mine
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: up versatility and just some more depth that they.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Need they need younger big.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Men they could take sanak here at twenty so at twenty,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: One detroit also needs something similar To wemby and San,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: antonio somebody that can control the offense When Kate cunningham
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: is on the bench when you get to the, playoffs
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and that Could bennett's starts out Of. Iowa stirtz is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: not going to turn the ball. Over he's a good
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: three point, shooter he can run the. Offense he's on
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the older, side so HE'S nba, ready Where Jana shankins
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: could play more off ball And bennett starts could be
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the full time backup point. Guard it's a better long
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: term piece to have Than Marcus sasser currently on the.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: ROSTER i think just just makes a ton of sense For.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Detroit so here at twenty, TWO i Think philadelphia is
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: getting maybe the steal of the draft so. FAR i
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: think one of these big men could fall in the,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: draft AND i Think Hanna steinbach is.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Going to go here To.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia is somebody that you can maybe have out there
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: With Dwell embiid maybe eventually Replaces embiid as the full
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: time five going.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Forward but this is JUST i think a high four.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: PICK i don't think he's going to be like an
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: elite room protector at the next, level but he's going
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to be a great. Rebounder he's going to BE i
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: think work in progress as a screen, setter but he
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: moves very. Well he's very fluid for somebody his, size
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and now here at THE aws, snashboard we can See
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: steinbock moves very well for somebody at his.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Size he measured in at six foot ten and a.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Quarter without choose two hundred and forty eight pounds a
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: seven foot two and a quarter. Wingspan he also ran
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the shuttle run very. Well you could see his height
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: is some of the highest in this class at six
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: foot ten and a quarter where he stands in as
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the eight tallest person in this, class but twenty eighth
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in this shuttle.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Run he moves very.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Well LIKE i, said he's also great around the rim
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a sixty seven point six percent field goal percentage inside
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the paint fifty seven percent. Overall and then he's also
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a great pick and roll. Rollman you could see he
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: ran kind of as the roller twenty one point three
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: percent of the time.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Last year At.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Washington and he also can be efficient. Enough BUT i
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: think can be a work in progress a little, bit
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: but playing With Tyres, maxi Vij, Edgecumb, yeah that is
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: going to help out Steinbach a ton as the roller
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: at the next. Level, okay so Since milwaukee traded Away,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: yannis they should make another trade as. WELL i Think
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: inlanto who didn't go Rinp protector at number, eight can
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: look for A rimp protector trade here at twenty. Three
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and this is where they can call It milwaukee in
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: trade For Miles TURNER i think would definitely be on
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the market this. Offseason twenty. Three Corey kissfurt not a
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: favorable contract right. Now and, Yeah Zachary Resa schet another
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: high upside wing That John horst can take a chance,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: On Krim, Lopez resa Che Nata met one of these
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: guys has to work out long term In. Milwaukee and For,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: atlanta you Get Miles turner under a solid, contract somebody
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that Could rimp protect and space the fourth which Means
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: milwaukee would be on the clock for their third first round.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Pick this is how you start off the.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Rebuild and they're gonna Take Abuca, Corey they're gonna take
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the best guard. AVAILABLE i Love Ryan. Rollins i'm not
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: sure if they're gonna bring Back Vin Porter. Junior either,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Way okoorie is one of the best shot, creators one
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: of the best isolation guards in this, class and this
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: is what they. Need so here at twenty. Four The
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: New York knicks are gonna have some Second apron restrictions this.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Offseason i'm not sure if they're gonna bring Back Mitchell
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: robinson or they going to bring Back Lanjie. SHAMMETT i
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: think they can make up a trade here at twenty
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: four for a really good scoring wing that's not making
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of. Money we know That New orleans wants
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to get into the first. Round The knicks can Trade
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Tywer Kohlich pacomi Dot ie in the twenty fourth overall
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: pick To New orleans For Sadeek. Bay, Yes Sadik bay
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: has that a, connection but he was a great. Score
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: he was a great three point shooter last year For New.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Orleans and The pelicans can get on the board here
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: at twenty. Four so The knicks can maybe replace Lan
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Jah shamitt With, sadibe who they can maybe get an
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: extension done. With either, way he's under a really favorable
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: contract for the twenty twenty SEVEN nba, Season and here
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: at number twenty, four The pelicans can Select Isaiah. Evans
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: they need some three point. Shooting they made trade Away
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Trey murphy this. Offseason we Know Zion Derek queen cannot
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: space the. Flour Herb jones has been kind of a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: little bit of an inconsistent three point shooter as of
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: light as, well so they get one of the best
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: three point shooters in this. Class so here at twenty,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Five i've mocked out a. TOON i feel like it's
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: going to. Happen Henry vassar to The. Lakers he could
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: space the, flour he can catch. Moms he's a solid
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: screen center and moves very well for somebody at his,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: size and this is exactly what you want For. Lukanacic
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: they might go out and try to signd like A
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Walker cussler or A Jayalen. Duran even if you do,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: that take a center here at twenty. Five besar is
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a first round, talent and that's who The lakers should.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Take just Get luca another, CENTER i think a great
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: value pick here at twenty six For Denver Alan graves
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: out Of Sam. Claire graves came off the bench last,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: year but everybody kind of loves his. Analytics, defensively great steel,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: rate great block. Rate plays a little bit slower, methodical
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: but that could work In. Denver he can learn Under Aaron,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: gordon get up to game, speed gets to play With
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Nicole jokic as. Well i've always loved the idea Of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Joshua jefferson To, denver but if you can get like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a younger version In Alan, graves you got to take.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It it was a good three point shooter last year as.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Well so speaking Of Joshua, Jefferson i've aim going number
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: twenty seven here to The Boston.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Celtics they need.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Guys that can, pass that could, shoot that have high
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: BASKETBALL iq and that could Be. Jefferson not the greatest
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: defender in the, world but could definitely hold his own
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: out of the. Post and if you want more size out,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: There jefferson could be a fource facing power forward if
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you want to maybe Have tatum on the bench for
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a little, bit Or Jalen brown because you're not really
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: trusting to me As kada as a four s baser at.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: All minnesota twenty eight just takes a high upside swing
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: here With, COOPETE i Think goapete is going to go
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: towards the end of the first round, now and they
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: may look to move A Joyce randall or somebody like
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: that this. Offseason pete can maybe either learn From randall
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Or nazert if they're still. There maybe he ends up
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: developing a three.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Point shot Of.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Minnesota either, way if you have like Nas reed at
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the five, Cove pete can be fine as a non
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: force facing big because of his physicality down low and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: playing off a good three point shooter like Nas reed
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: can help him get into some more meaningful. Lineups at twenty,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: NINE i Think cleveland needs big man. Depth Signing Larry
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Ed junior did not really work out last. YEAR i
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: don't know IF i feel comfortable about Like Nikwan tomlins
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the backup five Select Terris reid out Of yukon here great,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: rebounder great screen, set or super physical presence down. Low
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be somebody that's going to play ever
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: like twenty five minutes a night for. You but it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like not the sexy pick, either but it's going to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: just be the right.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Pick long.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Term you need somebody that can give you a valuable
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: eight to twelve minutes a night off the. Bench so
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: at thirty dolls is gonna Select Molie.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Thomas the upside is there as a shock raader in this.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Class he could definitely be like A Jordan clarkson type
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: player at the next. Level And dallas definitely needs some,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: offense either in that back quarter or on the. Perimeter
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: they're going to leave this drift With Raydon Vari's Jaden,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Quinn It's Emily. THOMAS i think that gives them a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: great foundation long term Around Cooper.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Flag so that's going to.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Wrap it up for our final mock drift leading up
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty SIX Nba. Draft i'm super excited
• 19:56

• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to be, like, okay see packaging two first to move
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: up in the. DRAFT i think we could see so
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: many type of deals and movement on the night of
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the draft and ahead of the. Draft i'm also excited
• 20:08
