The Athletic NBA Daily

Maybe he,

The Athletic NBA Daily

wouldn't stun me at all just because that's the world we live in now where he would be probably the national player of the year favorite if he returned next year.

The Athletic NBA Daily

And he's a monster.

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

So yeah, I just kind of look at it and I'm like, okay, the point guard class particularly is the one I'm looking at though, where it's, I don't know, there, there are 10 or 11 guys right now.

The Athletic NBA Daily

that I think are lead-ish guards, lead-to-combo guards.

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

It's Darren Peterson, Kingston Flemings, Keaton Wagler, Darius Acuff, Mike L. Brown, LeBaron Phylon, Braden Burries, Christian Anderson, Bennett Sturtz, Tyler Tanner.

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

I mean, that's, like, 17 lead guards, right?

Andrew, what's the least valuable position right now in the NBA?

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

Think about how good you have to be to have value as a lead guard in the NBA.

The Athletic NBA Daily

We saw Trae Young get traded for Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum.

The Athletic NBA Daily

Yeah.

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

John Morant, think about how much better, think about how much more talented John Morant and Trae Young are than all these guys.

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

And I really like a lot of these guys.

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

I think Kingston Flemings is a stud, but like,

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

Trae Young and John Morant were both better prospects than them, I think.

The Athletic NBA Daily
How good is the 2026 NBA Draft Class? with Sam Vecenie | Slam N Jam

And those two just got traded for like nothing.

The Athletic NBA Daily

You know, John Morant might get traded for nothing.
