Here is my early 2026 NBA draft board. Top 30 in a class that is talented, deep, and diverse in skillsets. This is going to be a really fun class to continue watching. What do we think? Hit me with any questions/comments.

Tyrese Proctor is doing the damn thing today. Been on the ball much more with Tyson out and he’s been hooping

Darryn Peterson was the highest pre-NCAA scorer on a per 40 basis among all class of 2025 guys with 31.3 ppg the rest of his per 40 stats: 51% EFG, 56.5% TS, 35.4% FTr, 26.8% 3PTr, 9.4 REB, 4.5 AST, 1.6 A/TO, 3.9 STL, 2.2 BLK on 34.3% USG

Here is the San Antonio Spurs offseason summarized:

This isn’t new, but Castle’s touch indicators are…. not ideal

Lindy Waters is a Spur!

2027 Jahari Miller (Indy Heat) was DOMINANT all summer on the EYBL 16s circuit. The 6'3 guard is a legitimate 3-level scorer with elite feel for the game. A clear top 40 player nationally. 18.2 PPG 2.17 A/TO 59.6 TS% 40% 3PT (7.2 att/gm)

Since making his EYBL return, Tyran Stokes has only further cemented his status as the top blue-chip prospect of the ’26 class. Stokes has shown legitimate growth in his strength creation (70% rim FG) & pull-up shooting (46.6% 3P) throughout Session 4 & Peach Jam. @tyran_stokes

The pricing here is hilarious but let’s see: Nikola Topic Kon Kneuppel Cedric Coward Toumani Camara Wemby Ron Holland Walter Clayton Jr Kelel Ware

After a fantastic summer playing up with Compton Magic, Bruce Branch (Prolific Prep) has solidified himself as the #1 player in 2027 and a truly elite prospect. Elite 2-way impact while scoring the ball at all 3 levels, shooting 39% from 3 on 5.4 att/g. He is the guy to beat in…

Been telling folks he’s soft for a while now

Which non-lotto player will have the biggest jump from Year 1 to Year 2 this season? My top 3 are: Jaylon Tyson Terrance Shannon Jr Ajay Mitchell

Who were they bidding against?

Rippey playing for Will Wade would be cinema, though it seems like we’re pretty late to the party. Colben Landrew should be near the top of all these lists for State fans tho. Real deal talent + elite fit.

I don’t think this is true but I don’t say that with a ton of confidence, and that makes me a little uncomfortable

Jaylon Tyson has really impressed me through 3 summer league games. He's scoring in a variety of ways, which bodes well for his versatility to fit in different lineups. 19.7-6-6.7 on 54.6 TS% 1.67 A:TO 2.7 STKs 56.3% on layups 34.8 3pt% (7.7 att/gm) 1 PPP in PNR 1.3 PPP on spot…

It’s really early and guys will develop/emerge but yeah, the high school class of 2026 has been notably weak since they were first evaluated. It’s not breaking news that draft quality is cyclical. Some are good, some are weak. It is what it is.

He’s at it again, folks

Here comes Dylan Harper. Stayed aggressive despite some early struggles and is beginning to make a mark on this game. Getting downhill at will, forcing the defense to foul him, hit a transition 3. Here we go.
