Diving Into The 2026 Draft Guard Class w/ Art Cummings

I mean obviously the finals are about to start this week, uh, but the NBA draft I think for our teams is really the next major event, and we, we have a lot to talk about for the Mavericks, for the Jazz, um, how the top 10 is really gonna shape up.

Vinay, how are you feeling three weeks out from the NBA draft?

I'm feeling, uh, I mean it's still really far out.

It's been fun diving into all these prospects.

Um, but it's just I would like to see more draft intel, I guess, with Mavericks guys that they're working out and stuff like that.

I have, still have no idea where the pick is gonna go.

I know every mock draft in the world has us taking Braeden Berries, but I still like don't know how this is gonna go.

I don't think anyone does, and it feels like as we get closer to the draft, the uncertainty becomes more and more.

I don't know, Art, if you feel that way, too.

Oh, for sure.

And I mean, I feel the same way, too.

It's like it's been eerily quiet as far as like draft intel goes, workouts goes.

Um, I know teams, they, they wanna keep their cards close to their vest as far as like workouts goes.

Doesn't want everyone to know who they like and things like that.

But it's been like super extra quiet this year it seems like.

I just want-- We're just like kinda dying for anything.

Give us, give us something.

[laughs]

Let us know who we prefer or who we like or anything like that, you know?

Well, at least your team has the nice problem of picking between-

...

De- Debonta, Peterson, or Boozer.

I mean-
