2026 edition for my top 10 underrated CBB freshmen (outside consensus top 40 rankings) with a chance to make some NBA draft noise last year's list included jeremiah fears, christian anderson and juni mobley, hoping to do even better this year with these predictions:

if you missed my big board video on youtube, here's my current 2026 nba draft lottery tiers analysis and video on all 14 prospects in the post below:

Will have a new, two-part Locked On Hawks later tonight with @bjpf.bsky.social. Focusing on the 2026 draft, from the consensus top 3 to other lottery guys, Dash Daniels, top returners, and more. Fun one! 🎧 Apple: apple.co/3xGpUhr 🎧 YouTube: bit.ly/36j8r5f 🎧 Spotify: spoti.fi/3xKdEwd

mid/late august update for my 2026 nba draft top 25 after working through a bunch of film over the last month or so as always, order within tiers is fluid, especially that big fourth group and prospects are listed with their draft age

first 2026 nba draft horizontal board is live, attempting to visualize the draft based on archetype/role rather than basic numerical order for my top 70 the class features great guard and initiator depth, but there are very few true bigs I feel confident about today

drop your hottest prospect takes (2026 draft, young NBA prospects, etc) below. Ahmed Jama of Swish Theory and i will react to them on youtube for example — anthony robinson, lottery pick

we're LIVE on stream watching some peach jam! come hang www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIln...

darryn peterson has a chance to be the greatest guard prospect of all time. i broke down how he dominates on both ends my case for peterson as the number one pick in a loaded 2026 draft:

we're LIVE on stream watching darryn peterson vs koa peat and talking hoops! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTMf...

who are the best drivers in the 2026 NBA draft? i threw together data on drive efficiency, frequency and turnover rate it's important to keep the comp levels and sample size in mind, but promising stuff for lopez, yessoufou, stirtz, peterson and dybantsa

way too early mock for the 2026 nba draft, all the picks are what i would do

come hang and watch hannes steinbach with us on stream! www.youtube.com/watch?v=czpB...

Glad to have @bjpf.bsky.social today to talk more about Kam Jones and Taelon Peter. We dove into what makes Jones a good prospect, specifically one for the Pacers. Plus, my god can Peter shoot it.

NBA draft blog part 1 is out! huge shoutout to everyone that conducts serious draft analysis, I could not do what you do. special congrats to Tre Johnson for bringing back draft shorts, and big thanks to @bjpf.bsky.social for giving me his pre-draft fashion thoughts. buttondown.com/wedontknowba...

Kam Jones scouting report from @bjpf.bsky.social, who is very high on the pick for the Pacers.

here's the final version of my 2025 NBA draft big board and tiers. a very strong class throughout the first round with a few legit blue chip talents evaluating this class has been a blast, big thanks as always to everyone who reads and follows my work! more to come

Just published a 2-part episode of the Locked On Hawks Podcast with @bjpf.bsky.social on the NBA Draft. It's a fun one IMO. 🎧 Apple: apple.co/3xGpUhr 🎧 YouTube: bit.ly/36j8r5f 🎧 Spotify: spoti.fi/3xKdEwd

love this Nique Clifford passing breakdown from @bjpf.bsky.social. Nique would instantly become a beloved Sixer, the Josh Hart/Derrick White that they consistently pass on. In a trade down with Washington (6+18) or Brooklyn (8+19), Nique is who I want late www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2o3...

thinking this 2025 draft lottery is close to final for me

happy draft season! i’ll be live on youtube throughout all of both days reacting, analyzing and discussing the draft with all of you!! join me and some very special guests throughout the draft at 430 PM PST/730 PM PST next wednesday!

finally finished cooper flagg's pass charting, here's where he ranks among the 2025 class (24 players): 7th in pot. ast/40 5th in big time pass rate 10th in pressure rate 4th in pressured pot. ast rate 3rd in pass tov rate 1st in manipulation rate 4th in rim pot. ast rate

new bjpf passing charting viz just dropped, passing turnover rate vs pressure rate for 2025 prospects top right is where you want to be, fewer passing turnovers while passing more frequently under pressure, s/o harper, tre, cooper, kon and riley!

to stave off an indiana upset, the thunder must slow their potent transition attack. i wrote about how OKC can win with their defense against the pacers’ vaunted early offense: t.co/exRaUNBZmX

Jake LaRavia's growth last season, thriving in two different systems, helped establish him as a promising NBA player. I spoke with Jake about his breakout third season, fueling confidence ahead of a critical summer: www.basketballinsiders.org/news/after-s...

i offered some thoughts four surprising withdrawals from the 2025 NBA Draft, headlined by Alabama's Labaron Philon: www.basketballinsiders.org/news/nba-dra...

very rough top 20 for the 26 high school class/27 draft. really weak seeming class without any true blue chip players to me so far still working through the class so if there's a guy not on here there's a solid chance i haven't watched enough yet
