Stocktons 2026 top 5 draft
here is my take on how the top 5 players in this draft will be taken :1. Washington Wizards
So the Magic could of had Jarren Jackson jnr, SGA and now i believe Jarret Culver and that would be one heck of a team but instead Gary Traded for the pick and the pick again jumps to number 1 where Gary will happily take Culver.
2. Dallas Mavericks
Dallas i believe has 2 options here at #2 , Garland or Weatherspoon but as it seems most people think Luka is better at point guard then Quinndary makes the most sense here with his d next to luka and would make a very good solid duo.
3. Oklahoma City Thunder
Ponds is an okay point guard but here it makes sense with Garland falling to #3 to take him here sure he has some question marks buit this young team is rebuilding and i dont believe there is any centers to take here at #3 which is what they need the most.
4. Minnesota Timberwolves
Wolves will go BPA considering they have jackson at point guard they might be happy if Garland gos before them as it gives them one less headache to think . This is where i think the biggest jump will happen and they will select Tariq Owens. Owens have been playing great lately and i think hes the best ready forward in the draft.
5. Memphis Grizzles
This is a hard one to pick as there is a number of good players who could go here , Christ wont go here because they have fernando and without scouting on Chiozza and Melli i think they will take Chiozza because good point guards are hard to find and wall isnt getting any younger but as i said i havent had any scouting on him but they will take him with his good defense and handles but if they dont they could go either Hall, Marcos Louzada Silva who would be a weapon or take a punt on Allen Smailagic but i think he is a reach that this point.
