2026 NBA Draft Big Board: The Final 101 👑 A lot of draft engine modeling, film, post-game press conference watching, available team interviews and offseason intel went into it. So, hate it or love it, I'll feel good about the process.

Martinelli at 44, Nkrumah at 57!
Likely my Final Big Board update, but here's where I'm at 15 days before the NBA Draft. Here's an explanation of my overall process: Philosophy-wise, the four pillars to my scouting framework this cycle have been: 1. Playoff Versatility: Can this player hold their own when intensity and physicality ramp up? 2. Scheme Versatility: Can the player fit into a multitude of offensive/defensive schemes not built around them? Can they adapt? 3. Standout Skill(s): Does the player have a core skill(s) that they perform at an NBA level, which can earn them real minutes? 4. Developmental runway: What is the ROI on the prospect? How much growth is left, and what's their timeline? How do I know if a player satisfies the pillar? Truth be told, each pillar is a spectrum rather than a checkbox. Basically, I examine how deep on each pillar's spectrum a player sits. The film tells me how a player acts in game-time situations. Their poise, athletic/physical functionality, and how they react in pressured moments. Analytics serve more as a litmus test and tell me if what they do is repeatable. Tier-wise, my ranking follows: 1. Franchise Cornerstones: Players a team can build around long-term 2. Core Building Blocks: Maybe not who you want to build your franchise around, but a piece that can be a significant, upper option moving forward. 3. High End Contributor: Can have a defined role on a contending team and hold their own when the game tightens, but pose questions regarding one or more pillars. 4. Rotation Value/High ROI w Q's: Self explanatory, but split between older players possibly ready to play now and players with high reward if invested and developed properly. 5. Specialists: Know exactly what kind of player they are and how they function best. Usually, one skill that may get them on an NBA floor. Lower ceiling 6. Developmental projects: Fringe prospects with high variance in potential Let me know any questions, comments, or concerns you have below! Open to any conversations. #NBADraft
