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

Shooting is the great equalizer for these young guys.

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

And I hope that he's able to continue to get stronger and continue to improve his ability to get into the paint because right now that's what's lacking.

The Athletic NBA Daily

is the ability to even like maintain it like I feel like he struggles a lot of the time to even like maintain an advantage that he creates when he'll like pump fake right like he'll use the threat of his shot which is great to try and then get into the paint and it just feels like guys are able to like kind of rotate too quickly and even like recover from behind and get back in front of him a little bit too easily because he's not explosive and powerful right and like can't hold anybody on his hip right now um

The Athletic NBA Daily

The Athletic NBA Daily

And I think the Nets... I don't know if I would take him at...

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

eight or i think they took him at eight yeah like like i think i would yeah i don't know if i'd rather have murray boils or him like it's a question like i really like what i've seen from colin i like what i've seen from like some of these other guys but you know i would definitely have jaeger as a lottery pick right now yeah and that's a that's a win for brooklyn i think

The fit with Zion has been pretty poor, unfortunately, which we all expected.

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