Baba Miller is the most underrated prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft. - 6'2" at 14 → 6'11" now - Excellent passer for a big - Switchable shot-deterring defender Most boards have him mid-to-late 2nd round That's a mistake
Alex Barutha 🏀@BaruthaAlex

is it actually possible Baba Miller doesn't get drafted? he's deep second round on a lot of boards seems like a clear reach-for-upside guy to me i'm not getting caught up on the shooting when he's an elite athlete who can defend and knows how to pass

@IDoNotExist05 Thats not a reason for him to go like 55th overall. That's a reason for him not to go 20th overall

This is insane

3-2-1 lottery system updates, per @mikevorkunov: - System scheduled to be in place for 3 seasons through 2029 draft - "Draft credit system" seen as leading contender to take effect after that - Rules on teams not being able to pick first 2 years in a row or top-five 3 years in a row are backdated and apply to traded picks, meaning the Grizzlies' 2027 pick from Utah in Jaren Jackson Jr. trade would be capped at 6th overall - Adam Silver can fine a tanking team up to $10 million, force them to forfeit or transfer draft picks, reduce lottery odds, change draft positions, or suspend team officials

@JohnWillkom Generally yes which is why he shouldn't go in the lottery or something like that, but i think he's currently undervalued as a late 2nd round guy

@BaruthaAlex Modern stretch four’s have to be able to shoot the 3, though. Twenty years ago, guys with this physical profile and athletic ability were gold. Today, not so much. A bet here is a bet that he can develop that.

@TheFFScout_x i'm sure he will get drafted but big boards/mocks are notoriously unpredictable after 45 in terms of who gets drafted and who doesn't, which is why it surprises me that's where a lot of place have him

@BaruthaAlex Feels like he should be a lock to get drafted, but youre right, he is ranked lower than expected in a lot of places

more of a focus on playing around the basket. His FTA and ORB went up. He's just always been an inconsistent shooter. I think it's hard for some guys to both exert a ton of effort playing in the paint AND be good at shooting threes when they aren't natural shooters. His FT% at least remained stable the past 2 years

@BaruthaAlex What happened to this 3pt shooting, though? Attempts and % fell off a cliff.

@BaruthaAlex I don’t think he gets past a team with two second-rounders, like maybe the Kings.

@locustlegend I think he could go in the first, but what people bring up for his weaknesses are the poor shooting and his weight (208). He's also going to almost be 23 by the time he's in the NBA. But to me that's overthinking it once we're past the lottery

@BaruthaAlex Pre combine he was ridiculously underrated yet NBA teams still saw enough value to invite him to the combine. My guess is teams are higher than him than media/twitter

@Cfan38Tony that's what I'm thinking. maybe this is a case of some people not updating their boards since the combine

@BaruthaAlex Barring any unforeseen red flags I can’t see a scenario where Baba isn’t drafted and suspect he goes top 40. Between guys staying in college and his combine hype hard to see him not being one of the 60 best prospects
