2026 Way Too Early Mock Draft

Boogie still not a first rounder, but I am officially off of Boogie watch.

I expect Sanon to be in conversations if he can up his defensive intensity. Hopkins would be where RJ is this year.
 
Also, Ian is #16 here. Obviously all of these things are way too early, but Zuby/Ian being mentioned or being in the first round, is an indicator they're squarely on radars.

NBADraft.net has Jackson at 16, Sonon at 29, Zuby at 52. Just their own, not the consensus one I usually use but just FYI.

Zuby will jump significantly when he shows an outside shot and better handle.
Ian will jump when he shows he can play point. Sonon will jump when scouts and coaches get to see more of him in CRPs system.
I didn’t say if. I said when.

I wish we had a true center who would free Zuby up to play the 4 because that's what he would play in the NBA

Completely agree but we don't. The closest I can see to someone like Zuby playing center in the NBA is Duren on the Pistons who is 6'10" 250 and has been very effective for them. Zuby listed at 6'9" and 240, understand listings are listings.

We do. Ruben Prey. He is not a traditional center, but he is a Professional Euro center, and CRP will coach him up. Look what CRP did for Joel Soriano.
Joel is traditional. CRP has no boundaries, only vision. I believe in Prey.

nba power forwards are Jayson Tatum like. Hes a center, think Bam.
 
Zuby’s high motor will give him the edge.
No pun intended.
