Here it is... my final board for the 2026 NBA Draft.

As always... appreciate all the love and support throughout this cycle. It's a blast to discuss these players with you all every day and a true passion of mine to evaluate them.

Open to comments/discussion of course.

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

Yeah man, I tweeted it in the off-season but the jury is still very much out on him... hard to judge him based on the results of the last couple years. I can def say that he has had to get creative offensively with the lack of ball-in-hand creators he has been given during his tenure

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

Lots of questionable decisions from Will Hardy in the final five minutes plus OT

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

However you feel about Will subbing DP out... whatever. (I would've called TO and had him + Brice on the floor for the final possession of regulation)

But this line of thinking... reminds me of folk who told me the FO knew what they were doing using a top-10 pick on Cody Williams.

I will never go ahead and trust a professional before myself just because they are a professional and I am on Twitter

[dan c. @danclayt0n]

@ArtTakesNote He just gave you his answer about why he made that sub. You don't have to agree with him, but I'm going to go ahead and trust that he knows what he's looking at.

@SomeSportsGuy81 I don’t see it even being a conversation unless this season goes totally off the rails

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

Keyonte is an offensive star… the process and efficiency leap, all with a TON of responsibility… is really impressive.

Defensively… it’s a different story. But I def think he is an offensive star and that last year was real

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

Thought Baylor locked this one in... I'd imagine they are after Benji Berrouet very aggressively

[Joe Tipton @JoeTipton]

NEWS: 5⭐️ Lewis Uvwo has committed to Providence, he announced. 

The 6-foot-11 senior is the No. 1-ranked center in the 2027 class and a top-10 overall prospect.

@jazzbeargryllz Probably. Not someone I’d be after, though

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@100Holloww @Drew1931 Thanks man, that means a lot coming from you

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@CJRealHoops2 I will

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@jazzmomm What I’ve learned in my time on this app… you’re not allowed to have any doubts about any member of the Utah Jazz franchise

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@takenotefanclub High end outcome -- Rashard Lewis

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@Broski_W52 Very jealous of yalls core man

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@LauriBirddd Def do not think this is an absolute shit class

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

These Grizzlies own our draft pick this year man… fahhhhh

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@BertEnthusiast I had us in that late lotto range (which is a good spot to be now) but it is what it is

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@AJ3Jazz Lol I am excited to see AA as a drafter outside of the top tho… all we really have to point to thus far is Walt. We do get one of CLE/MIN’s 1st this year IIRC

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@UtahJazz4L Jazz can’t be top-5 again either but still lol… the lottery change is a Silver move that I actually quite like

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@SleeperJazz I am not a lip reader… but your guess here unfortunately looks pretty close to me

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

Terrible shots there down 3… TO’s in your pocket… just all around bad and that’s the ball game.

On the bright side… this was one of the best games I’ve seen Ace play… and I def buy into the energized role player version of him… Mo Bamba was obviously outstanding as well

[Zack Padmore @ZP12Hoops]

@TheRealRigelis @ArtTakesNote He is
