I'll go along with Arenas, but Kiyan Anthony? At the rate he's going, we may be able to get him with a 2nd round pick or as a UDFA. Of course, then you have to wonder how Melo's going to feel about the Rockets drafting his kid. LOL. In other words - just stay away. Kel'el Ware ... just seems like he's on and off, and I mean since his college days. I have no opinion on him. If he was always "on", he'd be elite, though.
I get your observation on Kiyan Anthony. I was thinking if he takes a leap in growth and becomes 1st round material. But the PHX pick could go to whoever BPA is. Maybe Carmelo would be forgiving if the Rockets drafted his son. <insert gif of Kiyan's head on Carmelo's championship formula> Not sure how to paste those type of images Kel'el Ware would be a gamble but he is likely going to be better and worth more than 2 likely late first round picks.
2026: Trevon Brazile and Emanuel Sharpe 2027: Braylon Mullins and Silas Demary Reed/Demary Mullins/Sharpe Amen/Tari Bari/Tari Sengun/Brazile
A lot of guys have withdrawn from the 2026 class 2027 is actually looking pretty deep now. Still lacks a strong top 10 as things stand right now. That could change if any of the players who withdrew from the draft or anybody else has a huge breakout season.
For anyone following along - Spears currently won't be eligible for the 2027 draft due to age requirements. He'll be eligible for the 2028 draft.
Thought experiment. Would you rather have the 1st and 16th pick next draft or the 3rd and 4th pick? If you choose the 1st and 16th would it change if you got 2nd and 3rd?
