1.6 \u2014 Memphis Grizzlies<\/p>\n
Keaton Wagler has a lot more before he ever reaches his ceiling. The raw ability is there as a combo guard with good size and strength. Wagler could become a top-3 player in this draft in his best-case scenario. <\/p>\n
1.7 \u2014 Atlanta Hawks<\/p>\n
Kingston Flemings declared for the NBA Draft this week, and he will not look back. He is a prototypical guard, able to do it all between scoring, defense, and passing. <\/p>\n
1.8 \u2014 Dallas Mavericks <\/p>\n
Nate Ament is raw and has a very high ceiling as a power forward. He has a great jump shot, and as he gets bigger, Ament will dominate at the rim. He reminds me very slightly of Giannis. <\/p>\n
1.9 \u2014 Chicago Bulls<\/p>\n
Mikel Brown Jr. can be argued to be the second-best guard, ahead of Fleming. He failed to play in March Madness due to injury, but he has it all.<\/p>\n
1.10 \u2014 Milwaukee Bucks<\/p>\n
Brayden Burries is one of the few non-freshmen coming into the draft. He is a sharpshooter from Arizona, just what Giannis needs. <\/p>\n
1.11 \u2014 Golden State Warriors<\/p>\n
Karim Lopez may be the first player to go overseas. Lopez is from New Zealand and is a high-upside wing player. That fills him in as a day-one Warriors starter. <\/p>\n
1.12 \u2014 Oklahoma City Thunder<\/p>\n
Yaxel Lendeborg lands with a team that may go back-to-back as NBA Champions. He is older with a great shot, but would be more rotational with the Thunder.<\/p>\n
1.13 \u2014Miami Heat<\/p>\n
Thomas Haugh was among Florida’s best players in 2026 and won a title with them in 2025. Haugh is a mid-size power forward who pairs great with Bam Adebayo and will likely get plenty of playing time, ideally with Giannis if Pat Riley can get that done. <\/p>\n
1.14 \u2014 Charlotte Hornets<\/p>\n
Andy Mara is our big man in the draft. The 7’3″ center will pair with Ryan Kalkbrenner to be the tallest duo in the NBA. <\/p>\n
1.15 \u2014 Chicago Bulls<\/p>\n
Hannes Steinbach is lesser-known, having played in Washington, not making the NCAA Tournament. The 19-year-old German is very raw, but with huge upside. The Bulls really need a big man so that the impact can be sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n
1.16 \u2014 Memphis Grizzlies<\/p>\n
Labaron Philon is another elite guard and scorer. He seems a step below Acuff Jr. and Brown Jr., and his eye-catching pop is evident, but Philon shall be a great 6th man for this young Grizzlies team. <\/p>\n
