Following Potential 2026 Draftees

Boozer is one of the greatest HS basketball players of all time, but is a little difficult to project defensively to the NBA as of now. He's a pure PF, but I'm not sure he can defend guys like Tatum. Hopefully he shows that and then I'll be very excited for him.

Peterson has huge, SGA like defensive potential for a high level creator prospect.

He's definitely not a "pure pf". He has PF height/length, he has C strength and rebounding, and he has the handle/playmaking of a perimeter player. He's going to play a lot of minutes at the 5. If anyone can be an undersized 5 in the NBA and not get cooked, it would be Boozer.

AJ will be the clear #1 by the time of the draft and it won't be particularly close.

Don't think AJ has any shot of overtaking Peterson. AJ will just have more questions marks. Peterson is about as bulletproof a perimeter prospect as it gets
 
Hard to have a strong opinion at this stage, but from everything I've read/heard about these 3 I have it 1) Boozer 2) Pete 3) AJ. Booz firmly in the lead until proven otherwise, which could be very soon.
 
I was listening to Givony (I think, might have been a peer) who was very high on Peterson. Said the profile was "a significantly better Donovan Mitchell." For some reason they were not as high on Boozer, pegging him into the 3 slot and even considering him at 4. I'm not sure I get it, but this will be fun to watch.

I think the other two will show out very well, I just think AJ will separate himself- his genuine length (on a court he looks longer than Boozer) and hops vs the others give him an organic advantage that he will use to make it easy to name him the nearly universal #1.

He does look quite large on the court. Looks bigger than he is listed. Not only taller but thicker as well. He will be impossible to guard.
 
Jesus Christo, the top of this draft is so stacked. I just started looking into this draft, and I'm pretty shocked. The jazz better not **** this up.

It's still way toooo early, but I think I might be team Dybansta
