@bjpf_ Love Veesaar’s offensive upside in the league. If he can somehow not be a liability on defense, he’s an excellent late first pick in this draft.
I think he’s the best offensive center in the draft by a pretty good margin

whichever team drafts henri veesaar should continue to feature him as an inverted pick-and-roll creator, as the heels did with he and caleb wilson this year. enjoy this elbow get in particular
rare for players with true center height/weight to pass and handle like veesaar

@JBBHoops1 Respectfully, Giannis v Brunson isn’t close. Giannis is that dude
English
Man I'm putting him over Giannis and Embiid

Becky Hammon on the Knicks in 2023: “They’re well-coached, they're going to be on their defensive game, but at the end of the day, they don't have a dude. You gotta have a dude, you gotta have a 1A dude, and they're missing that at the end of the day if we're just getting down to brass tacks. I love Jalen Brunson, but you're going to put him on the level of a 1A? You're putting him with Giannis, Embiid, Steph?" (via @ESPNNBA)

Can't count Quaintance for LAL unless he's 100% healthy with medical clearance. Even if I think he's a defensive monster, he's 6'9 barefoot, maybe with the strength to compete with the absurd giants of the NBA.

@Ball_InMyHand He’s not a block steal guy. His defense is solid though. Just cause your not a high stop % guy, doesn’t mean you’re not a good defender

Don't like to see you there Hannes

Worst Defensive Playmakers Relative To Position 🍂
English
@realLatifLove Pretty surprising from Gillespie based on tape I’ve watched. Feel like the Stirtz defense (along with his speed) does not get talked about enough.
English
Ja’Kobi Gillepsie is one of the most underrated players in the draft.

Stocks (and offensive fouls drawn) aren't everything, but this is a list you definitely don't want to find yourself on.

@tipoffball @realLatifLove Onyenso is an excellent 2nd round prospect defensively. Best defensive performance against Boozer I saw all year

@EDemirNBA @StephenGHoops Welcome to Chicago! Let me know if you need any recommendations!
Incredible summer city

I've never been more excited for a the NBA Draft than this year. That's why I had to make sure that I will be there in person.
This will be the first time in my life I'll visit the United States. Can't wait!

Passing on Swain and Graves for Peat would radicalize me
r/CharlotteHornets@HornetsReddit
In @CBSSports' latest 2026 NBA mock draft, the Charlotte Hornets are projected to select Morez Johnson Jr at #14 and Bennett Stirtz at #18. 🤔 — 14. Morez Johnson Jr (PF, Sophomore, 6'9", 250 lbs) — 18. Bennett Stirtz (PG, Senior, 6'3", 190 lbs)

@PAKA_FLOCKA Love this comp. Need more folks talking about comps in a nuanced way

@nbanerdd Mikel Brown should be here. I love him but he really lacks effort and strength defensively at times
English
2026 NBA draftees that will likely get targeted defensively in the NBA:
1. Cam Boozer
2. Keaton Wagler
3. Kingston Flemings
4. Darius Acuff Jr
5. Labaron Philon
6. Bennett Stritz
7. Christian Anderson
8. Ebuka Okorie
9. Isaiah Evans
10. Tyler Tanner

@Domo8186 Patrick Ngonba top 10 stuff was always wild to me. Good player but nowhere close to a top 10 guy imo

@SleeperChicago No reason to trade for Giannis rn. Time for the rebuild

@DraftDeeper If Richie Saunders is the same player post injury, I’d have him at 6. Definitely an argument for him at 5: not a huge Tounde guy
English
@CanyonDriver I think that’s fair. I prefer the shooting, passing, and footwork of Veesaar.
Don’t think they’re the same style of offensive players, but both are effectively 4’s who aren’t great defenders and will need to excel offensively off their skill to win throughout an nba career
English
@alexnesnidal I was more sure of Raynaud's hands and post base.
English
Do I think Veesaar has a chance to be as good as Raynaud during his rookie year ... 🤔
English
@PAKA_FLOCKA Really do love how high I am on him relative to consensus. Hes an incredible talent just doesn’t do the sexy stuff
English
I feel like Hannes Steinbach's measurements have been under-discussed. Went from an undersized 5, to arguably having the size and mass to handle full-time 5 responsibilities. Ridiculous rebounder with high-feel, big production track record. Easy lotto bet
Jonathan Givony@DraftExpress
Washington's Hannes Steinbach measured 6'10.25 barefoot and 248 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'2.25 wingspan and 9'0 standing reach. Steinbach has grown nearly an inch and added 19 pounds over the past two years. Strong measurements across the board.
