if morez johnson is available at 19 for the raps, he's a must draft.
One thing that didn’t get much comment yesterday off of my latest 2026 NBA Draft Big Board that I thought would spark more conversation: I have Morez Johnson Jr. as the best “big” in this class. Whether you see him as a C or PF, I just think he has the most defensive utility I want at that position while having a pathway to continue developing into a spot-up shooter given the touch indicators. I can switch him up and down the lineup, rebounds on both ends, sets good screens, communicates, can work in the handoff game, and is a real vertical presence around the basket. Just has to much to work with as one of the draft’s best athletes relative to others at his position.
