Here is my early 2026 NBA Draft Board 1.0! These are my current top 25 prospects for the 2026 cycle, ranked + tiered accordingly. A star-studded draft that is headlined with the best preseason top three I’ve ever evaluated. I’d love to discuss any & all placements 👇🏽 #NBADraft
Been loving the variance in Hansen Yang’s offense, offering himself as a handling big creator, P&R roll man + even as a floor spacer on the perimeter for Portland. 1.0 A/TO + 23.5% AST for Yang so far in Summer League — very strong blend of skill, feel & court mapping @ 7’1.
Really enjoyed Ben's video on Arafan Diane. Wrote about him for @SwishTheory and as you can see Diane's dominance this summer compares favorably to recently drafted bigs!
arafan diane is an underrated, dominant throwback big man. i made my case for him as a top prospect in the 2026 high school class on youtube (link below):
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
Noah Penda SL defensive playmaking. 1.7 SPG + 0.7 BPG — 37.5% dFG when guarded by Penda.
🇬🇷 Neoklis Avdalas has been nothing short of extraordinary at the #FIBAU20 Eurobasket. Averaging 13.8 PPG, 6.8 RPG & 6.6 APG, Avdalas ranks 3rd in +/- at Eurobasket — strong positional size, playmaking/driving craft + scoring versatility on display @ 6’8. 11th on my ‘26 board.
At long last, new Prospects & Concepts! Nique Clifford has taken the Summer League by storm, and exhibited a couple of traits in older wings I value heavily: in-college development and on-ball reps. Click to read and consider subscribing for $5/month! loganadamsnba.com/p/signal-calli…
Nique Clifford has been one of the biggest standouts at the NBA Summer League & it deserves more attention. Strong playmaking display from Clifford — 1.58 A/TO + 22.4% AST through 4 games, leading Sacramento to a 4-0 record & playoff berth for the Summer League championship.
Buzelis, Furphy/Jarace, K. George & TSJ
Name an NBA player you're buying stock in heading into next season 📈
Tre Johnson SL scoring versatility. 19.5ppg on 68.8% TS (45.5% 3P + 83.3% at the rim).
Jase Richardson is quietly putting together the most efficient Summer League campaign of any rookie from the 2025 Draft Class. 16.5ppg, 1.5rpg & 2.5apg on 72.2% TS (50% 3P + 73.9% at the rim) — 16.7% AST + 2.5 A/TO while taking on lead guard responsibilities. An outlier talent.
Dylan Harper’s driving skill + deceleration ability = a scary sight in transition.
