I DID IT. My 2026 NBA Draft Big Board is DONE. I don't crunch the most numbers or dive into the most film. Just a basketball lover who writes about LSU MBB + Southern athletics for a living. Thank you for reading a single word of this. My draft philosophy notes are in thread

the fact that brunson is able to be a helio engine in the luka/shai/harden vein while being adaptable off the ball like steph with spot up shooting/cutting/screening makes him a 1 of 1 engine (and why no one can quantify him)
Brunson is actually unreal 1.7 tov with 53% on ball% 😂😂😂 im telling you bro turnover economy wins you rings #Currytheretoo

Cartoon numbers 😭😭😭
The Jazz got one. We finally got one. +3 in 35 minutes in a 15-point loss. Utah was outscored by 18 points in the 13 minutes Darryn Peterson was off the floor.

A Chance Mallory and Jordan Smith gem right here. Wow
UVA and Arkansas haven't played each other since 1998. Guards Chance Mallory and Jordan Smith Jr. though played each other in 2024. Mallory scored 29 points for STAB in the VISAA DI Championship Game, but Smith and Paul VI got the win.

Jojo Tugler playing like the best defender in college basketball. He's up to 3 blocks in less than 3 minutes
Jojo Tugler blocks the shot with ease and Houston PG Dedan Thomas with the fluttery touch on the floater

Austin Reaves= Big Baller
Reaves was the hero of the game. Another excellent performance from him to add to the collection in games Luka / AD / Bron haven’t played Kessler next up for holding the margins together. 16 boards & 4 stocks. LAL has gotten impressive minutes from their trio so far
