2026 NBA Draft Thread

[HOU$TON]

12. San Antonio Spurs – Josh Giddey, wing, Adelaide 36ers

Is there a more perfect fit in the back half of the lottery? The Spurs' vaunted player development staff turned former ninth overall pick Jakob Poeltl from bust in Toronto to starter in just three years in San Antonio. Giddey is more skilled and eventually could remind some of Pau Gasol if his defense comes around.

Perhaps he becomes a super star, but wants the comparison before playing a game??? Wild ...

Any young kid that has that much irrational confidence gets my vote. Kid's gonna be a star.

Mario Hezonja was talking crazy like that too

Wenbamyama is going to be in trouble in PnR defense on the next level. Going to have to play drop and be played off the court in the playoffs

 

[HOU$TON]

Supersized wing that can put a lid on the basket. Mobley might be the best player from this draft. Rockets winning either way. Mobley mob or green gang.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Supersized wing

Wut?

 

[HOU$TON]

Wut?

Aye it’s a reach but I’ve seen it a few times

 

[ballinsam23]

Thats like the 4th time i heard Mobley as a 3. It won’t work, similar to what the Magic were trying to do with Aaron Gordon at the 3. Thats not where he belongs.

 

[MajinZuub]

No way in hell Mobley plays SF in the NBA

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Chad Ford keeps calling him a wing but either way i think he’ll be able to play either 4 or 5 when he’s at the peak of his powers

 

[B Sox]

He’ll be able to play the 4 but his best use will be at the 5.

He’s definitely not a damn SF

 

[B Sox]

Also, I really cannot stand how Chad Ford pronounces “measurements” MAYJUREMENTS

 

[sole searchin]

This Mobley at the 3/wing talk.

setting this man up for failure

 

[wavycrocket]

You can just tell, HOU$TON ain’t used to the projects . Rockets ain’t been In this position in forever. My dawg is new here

 

[HOU$TON]

The supersize wing was a joke lol of course Mobley isn’t playing the 3. Offensively he will not be a James wiseman type big or anything close to just a rim runner like people who want Jalen green over him are trying to make it seem. He will be special on both sides of the ball.

 

[wavycrocket]

Aaron Brooks ‘08 & Clint Capela ‘14 were the last 2 rockets 1st round picks since Yao in ‘02 that they kept, that were actually good for the rockets . And they were late first rounders.

Turn up my boy HOU$TON . It’s been a long time coming

This stressful man. I rather this than the inevitable folding by Golden state fresh start

It’s hard evaluating for me because everything at the NCAA level looks weak to me lol but my eye just isn’t trained. I trust stone to make the right pick I guess.

Rockets got more run out of their second rounders than first rounders lately. Parsons, Trezz, Landry.
