Hype rises for 2026 NBA Draft as lottery reshapes top picks
TL;DR
After the Wizards won the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, expectations are sky-high for the class, with AJ Dybantsa calling it perhaps the best ever and top teams (Washington, Utah, Memphis, Chicago) holding the first four picks. The top quartet will likely be Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson, but the class is deep and could rival the best in years, with medicals and trades in the coming weeks potentially reshuffling the order.
