Here it is... my final board for the 2026 NBA Draft. As always... appreciate all the love and support throughout this cycle. It's a blast to discuss these players with you all every day and a true passion of mine to evaluate them. Open to comments/discussion of course.

They don’t call him Baby Jokic for nothing
Cutter Sisk dominated against UNC, dropping 27 points and 7 rebounds. The 6'9" freshman was one of the most underrated freshman in the country and proved why by dominating against UNC. @CutterSisk

Gavin Placide is popping off the screen to me early this season

Welcome to Hell
Ryan Smith on the Jazz's coaching staff and front office: "Will's our guy. Austin's our guy. We're not changing anything. We're gonna work together and go through this. We have incredible people. These are championship pedigree people. They know what it looks like." #TakeNote

I guess it’s a good thing that NBA dot com isn’t letting us get clips anymore… because I was gonna come on here and post DP failing to beat Jeremiah Fears off the bounce… the fuck man

One guy on the floor that can dribble… your offense becomes too predictable

This third quarter from Keyonte George… THIS is getting wherever you want to on a basketball court

BC Partners is pulling out of its deal to invest $300M into the LIV Golf League, and barring a last-minute buyer, the breakaway circuit is likely headed toward a liquidation of its assets, sources told ESPN. The Financial Times was first to report the news. spr.ly/6012BHLaZa

Bamba is hauling in these boards… I am enjoying the rejuvenation

So underwhelmed by DP thus far man (before you rip my face off, I KNOW he is a rookie that hasn’t played 10 games left and I KNOW that he has a chance to be quite good)

I don't think the Jazz actually do it and put Bufkin in the rotation over Collier... but the timing of his transfer is... interesting lol FWIW... I would rather Jaelen House (Stars picked him up in the off-season) on a Two-Way over Bufkin/Alexander. Shrug.

The Jazz need to prioritize bringing in dribble/pass/shoot guys... guys that can make 0.5 decisions... I can't say it enough... they have constructed such a weird roster fit wise. Little individual passing skills, little advantage creation... low feel, low rim rate + 3PR...

*pretends to be shocked gif*
Teams 1-30 in rim FGA + rim FG%... What stands out?

Domas would average a triple double on the Jazz
The best NBA fit right now for Domantas Sabonis is the Utah Jazz...He would do wonders for that offense...that being said, I'm not sure the Jazz can trade for him. They don't have the contracts

Dennis Lindsey made some critical mistakes towards the end of his Jazz tenure (Dok, Matt Thomas) and gets a bad rap... I think he was good... I miss him, especially considering what the new FO has done since his departure. Drafted two HoF'ers at 13 and 27. Hired Quin Snyder. Signed Joe Ingles. Drafted Rodney Hood 23rd overall. Traded for George Hill, Boris Diaw and signed Joe Johnson. Signed Royce O'Neale. Signed Georges Niang. Traded for Jae Crowder. Drafted Grayson Allen 21st overall. Traded for Mike Conley (mixed feelings, but Mike was really good here). Traded for Jordan Clarkson. Dennis had his misses like anyone else... but he did a lot of good.

Tyrese Haliburton in a 6'8", 250 LBS frame... and he was right there for my team
Cam Boozer with 18/12/12 in another Grizzlies win last night. Has there ever been a 19 year old NBA rookie with processing speed like this? Not an exaggeration to say Boozer has a Jokic-esque ability the way he quickly and deliberately sees the game.

Penny Hardaway on Miikka Muurinen: "He could be the No. 1 overall pick. This dude’s ridiculous. I mean, that's really looking at like a Wembanyama type player. A Greek freak." (via @RazorbackMBB)

Been thinking lately… if I were to move off of Stokes as my No. 1 guy… Bruce Branch may be the one who dethrones him @ojury_007 has been on this. Kid might be special

However you feel about Will subbing DP out... whatever. (I would've called TO and had him + Brice on the floor for the final possession of regulation) But this line of thinking... reminds me of folk who told me the FO knew what they were doing using a top-10 pick on Cody Williams. I will never go ahead and trust a professional before myself just because they are a professional and I am on Twitter
Replying to @ArtTakesNote
He just gave you his answer about why he made that sub. You don't have to agree with him, but I'm going to go ahead and trust that he knows what he's looking at.
