WELCOME TO DRAFT DAY
It’s been an incredible year, but the big day is here.
The phones have been working all morning, and things could get a little nuts tonight.
Yesterday, our No Ceilings team released our annual “What Would WE Do” Mock.
Today is the big one. The Last Dance.
This is everything we’ve been hearing throughout the league from talking to teams. An important reminder to also pay attention to some of the names…
including a couple of interesting bread crumbs…
Some Quick Shouts.
WE WILL BE LIVE ALL DAY on YOUTUBE starting at 4 PM EST/1 PM PST for a 2026 NBA Draft Preview Show.
THEN, tonight we will be giving you Round 1 Analysis on YouTube as well.
Don’t Forget:
Check out Splash Sports for their 2026 NBA Draft Predictor contest. Free Entry and a bundle of prizes for the best Mock predictions.
We Love You All. Thanks for a GREAT Year.
