@LoganPAdams I don’t get it either - he’s the same player he was 1-2 seasons ago and now he’s older. Not sure why that would justify a top 10 pick all of a sudden. Will most likely end up in the 20-30 range for me.

@PranavSriraman Were never constructed the right way. Always felt clunky.

@TStapletonNBA @draftballr Happy draft day brotha!

@TrashPanda0523 I don’t usually account for injuries but with Quaintance I had to..

2026 NBA Draft Big Board. This class was a lot of fun, I don't think I've ever had to rank this many guards! I did not get to spend as much time this year as I would have liked, but below is the link that includes a small breakdown of my philosophy

@TrashPanda0523 Love the idea of a rim protecting big who isn’t strictly drop cov. Could be a monster on that end. But I hate the fact that he’s hardly played the past year + bad touch/feel on offense caps his ceiling. My 12-18 range is more fluid. For certain teams I’d take him much higher.

I am purely a lurker on here and I don't interact much, but thank you to the following people for their influence over the years

@DraftPow @LoganPAdams @JakeInThePaint @OdetoOden @ZachMilner13 @Sam_Vecenie @100guaranteed

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@LoganPAdams I fell for it man.

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@TrashPanda0523 @LeifThulin Maluach will be fine. He was nowhere near very good in his minutes though

Having both of them over CMC, Kon, and Dylan Harper was pretty crazy though. There wasn’t anything to point towards that during last years cycle - especially with Noa

I had Reed 1 so I’m with you on that

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@TrashPanda0523 @LeifThulin Not even hating but you had Maluach 2 and Essengue 3 last year. And I believe Jase 6 or 7? Obviously tons of time for all of this to shakeout but the top of your board was just as bad as his tbh..

@DraftPow Stirtz 100%

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@LoganPAdams @_utilitysports Love it. Our boards are looking similar!

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@coachnatebdraft @SheedinATL He’s purely been a P&R dominant ball handler. I’ve tried projecting players to do what I think they should do, it never turns out well

He’s going to need to drive some sort of offensive value with the ball in his hands. The ancillary stuff just isn’t good enough right now.

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@TStapletonNBA I had him ranked 9th in 24’

Now, in no particular order:

Castle, Clingan, Sarr, Edey, Sheppard, Buzelis, Ajay Mitchell, Ware, Topic, Sheierman

My 2 biggest hindsight’s: I had Castle out of the top 20 which was a huge miss and I wanted to put Ajay top 10 but chickened out.

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@firstroundmock @druidofparanor You said Drake Maye wouldn’t get a second contract from the team who drafted him. You had him as a first round talent because that was consensus, but you were obviously much lower on him than most. 😂

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

Feeling great about 1-4. Cedric Coward looks insanely good.

2025 NBA Draft Big Board

There were quite a few high ceiling - low floor guys in this class, which made it tough. (Fears, Ace, Queen, Kasparas). My rankings would / will change depending on which teams these guys go to.

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@AdamKoffler Kenneth Walker or Woody? (Full ppr) 👀

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

@Nittanylion02 Complete liability and almost unplayable on offense.

[DraftConnective @ConnectiveDraft]

My girlfriend just saw Mahershala Ali in Benjamin Button and thought it was Future

[Thomas Stapleton @TStapletonNBA]

Happy Draft Day! I’ve produced and designed my annual NBA Draft Big Board for the 2025 class, which includes my personal ranking of the top 30 prospects along with a few guys I like in the second round!
