I DID IT. My 2026 NBA Draft Big Board is DONE.

I don't crunch the most numbers or dive into the most film. Just a basketball lover who writes about LSU MBB + Southern athletics for a living.

Thank you for reading a single word of this. My draft philosophy notes are in thread

A Chance Mallory and Jordan Smith gem right here. Wow

UVA and Arkansas haven't played each other since 1998.

Guards Chance Mallory and Jordan Smith Jr. though played each other in 2024.

Mallory scored 29 points for STAB in the VISAA DI Championship Game, but Smith and Paul VI got the win.

Jojo Tugler playing like the best defender in college basketball. He's up to 3 blocks in less than 3 minutes

Jojo Tugler blocks the shot with ease and Houston PG Dedan Thomas with the fluttery touch on the floater
