Mock draft 2026

What’s the bad? Flemming plays defense and has good positional size

According to Reddit, at a Nike camp in 2023 he measured 6’1 with a 6’1.5 wingspan. Who knows if that’s true and he would have been 16 at the time. He’s clearly grown but if he comes in at 6’3 with a 6’3.5 wingspan I wonder if that will change anything for teams.

Hopefully he’s grown he doesn’t look 6’1

If we don’t end up with flemming then Anderson could be a nice piece in the late teens

If you think he's 6'4" I've got a bridge to sell you. Comes up small next to Uzan, probably 6'2". I'm not convinced by his defense. He tries, but I'm not convinced he'll actually make a difference.

Any views on Reuben Chinyelu? From my limited viewing, he doesn't seem to have much offense but his defense looks impressive and could translate to the NBA. Moves his feet well, defends with his chest, and keeps up with even the fast guards on switches. He has a 7'8" wingspan and a standing reach of 9'4” for those who are curious.

I'm not quite sure he's good enough to have his name called during the draft, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Kings bringing him on board for the Summer League.

Not a lot of pg’s make a difference on defense if he’s our first or second option we just need effort on that end and for him not to be an extreme negative

I’ve seen a decent amount of Texas Tech games this season. He’s solid all around. But nothing has ever popped to me that says mid first round talent. And whenever he guarded the other team’s star, he got cooked often. Fleming went off on him. Again, he’s solid but if I were to compare him to Nique, he has less skill and upside. May be a better shooter but Toppin and others gave him a lot of open shots

It’s weird since Fleming is considered a plus defender with great hands and footwork. It’s not even a concern. If his defense was a problem, Sampson is not playing him. He’s Maxey with his ability to get downhill and get shots off in the paint and convert a high percentage. And his shooting technique is top notch.

If Anderson slipped down, I’d absolutely take him with our first second round pick but yeah I’m not sure I’d take him with a late lotto first round pick

Revealing text about Darryn Peterson recorded before sitting out Arizona upset as Kansas shoots down rumor

They went to the tape and Kansas is calling foul.

Lots of smoke around Peterson. I’d take Dybantsa, Boozer, and Wilson ahead of him. Maybe Flemmings too.
