Following Potential 2026 Draftees

The worst part about this season is that we can clearly see how close this team could be if we can keep our pick because of the depth of the top 8. There are at least a solid 10 players that could help to finalize this roster while AJ and Peterson could propel us into legit contender status. Instead we continue to flirt with disaster by playing Love and Svi quality minutes when the difference between winning and losing is razor thin. Those guys have already probably made the difference in 4 wins this year.
 
I didn't think we would see Alijah Arenas this year but he just started practicing with the USC team. I had him as a top 5 pick pre injury but that was also prior to realizing how stupid deep this draft is. He is still probably another month a way from actually getting on the court though.

I was also a big fan but I question some stuff
 
Locke on DJ and PK says best case scenario is we end up 5th in the lotto. He thinks Hornets, New Orleans, and Clippers could pass us. But it’s a big if.

I really hope the clippers can get rolling but that would take a miracle season from Kawhi and he is so damn injury prone. I'm pretty confident the hornets and pels will pass us. I wouldn't be surprised to see the hornets get red hot and become a playoff team. The quartet of Melo, Miller, Kon and Bridges should be pretty damn good if they can strings some games together and build chemistry.

Beating LAL a huge boost

Flemings is special. I don’t know what kind of nba prospect he is, but as a frosh pg in cbb, he’s different. Milos Uzan is an incredible senior PG and Flemings is better - considerably better.

And Acuff, some NBA team in need of a PG is going to be extremely fortunate to get that dude.
 
Tounde with 28/8/6 and 4 stocks against a bad team.

He's now scored 15, 18, 27, 22, 17, 17, 28 over his last 7 games (mostly against bad teams).

Carr in that same stretch has 27, 17, 25, 13, 19, 24, 22.

I agree with the Hornets and Pels eventually getting past us. I also think the Jazz can come in under Dallas. I'm not sure about the Clippers. Someone may need to help them with a trade.

Tounde is starting to pass the ball better in the last few weeks. Still only averaging 1.5 apg across 10 games, but see if that keeps improving. His shooting numbers are normalizing too -- 3P% up to 30% (from 20%) and FT% down to 76% (from 85%).

He'll be an effective player, but he hasn't looked like a #1 option guy. Give him a 3D role with some freedom like Anthony Black played last night for Orlando and it probably works, imo.

I would take 5th if offered today.
Would be sad to not get AJ but would still likely get a really nice piece to add to the core of the team for the future.
 
Jalen Harrelson with 24pts/9reb. He hit his first 3 point shot today. Apparently Notre Dame is really bad this year.

He has 3 20point games in his last four.
